I'm not opposed, but this adds significant complexity to support a questionable 
use case -- the C standard library headers are not intended to be partially 
included, so if the plan is to use these `__need` macros in all of the headers 
we provide, I think that should go through an RFC process to be sure we want to 
maintain the added complexity. (Also, who is "we" in this case?)
