Names starting with an underscore are reserved to the implementation for use in 
the global namespace. Also, we declare these lazily, on-demand, only if name 
lookup would otherwise fail, so (outside of odd SFINAE cases in C++) this 
shouldn't affect the meaning of any valid programs. While I find it distasteful 
to model these as builtins, the only significant problem I see here is that 
we'll accept non-portable code that forgets to include the right header if we 
do so.

Perhaps we could model this somewhat similarly to `LIBBUILTIN`, so that we 
allow use of the builtin without a declaration, but produce a diagnostic about 
the missing `#include` when we do so?
