that define single or common groups of the names without the
__ prefixes, e.g. <types/size_t.h>;

standard userland header files like stddef.h;
- in the kernel, a single header file that defines all the types

not affect userland.
Yes, that's one way of doing it right.
Until such time as somebody does it right, please follow the
pattern of what's done already.
