I think we could justify defining it ourselves under non-strict compilation 
modes; alternatively, system headers might define it for users in non-strict 
modes.

My reading of the TS is that in strict mode, these types and macros should be 
hidden unless the user explicitly requests them by defining 
`__STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__` themselves.
