underbar reserved for complier/library writters?

Hello,

Is there a spec like ANSI or some such that actually states that underbar _
or __ is reserved for compiler and library writers? If it exists, I can not
find it.

Cheers,
dan

They are reserved at the begining of a word. The C++ standard states the
rules fairly clearly in 17.4.3.1 and its subsections, I believe.
