No, if it's removed from POSIX, then they can't be declared, since the
namespace belongs to the application. For instance, index() could be
an application-defined macro that does something completely different.
I doubt apps will do that for a while until POSIX 2008 is mainstream,
but that's what the text of the standard means.

What should be done, I think, is just exposing these functions under
the same rules gethostbyname is exposed under.
