a header need not be directly included to foul up the works
in an attempt to make some standards/extensions visible this
header ended up tagging along and brought with it some unexpected
macros/typedefs/prototypes

if the iffe ("configure") scripts didn't see this header at build
time, or if non-standard symbols happen to clash with ast implementation
symbols, then conflicts could arise
