I cant help but wonder why on earth we didn't have it like this from the
start:

That compiles fine. The __stdin thing is in case somebody likes the idea
of #undef stdin or #ifdef stdin for some reason.
In fact, I can't imagine *any* reason not to do this. At least this would
insulate us from future nasties in FILE size changes, and would have
saved us in this case.
