7.1.3

7.1.3 Reserved identifiers
1 Each header declares or defines all identifiers listed in its
associated subclause, and optionally declares or defines identifiers
listed in its associated future library directions subclause and
identifiers which are always reserved either for any use or for use as
file scope identifiers.

- All identifiers that begin with an underscore and either an
  uppercase letter or another underscore are always reserved for any use.

- All identifiers that begin with an underscore are always reserved
  for use as identifiers with file scope in both the ordinary and tag
  name spaces

IOW - no, that's not good either.
