Re: C++ and read redefinition

On 2020-12-06 I committed this:

There are other situations when it is necessary to avoid preprocessor
#defines. For example, when building libtextstyle on native Windows,
the package intentionally does
  #define isatty libtextstyle_isatty
and when <unistd.h> does
  #undef isatty
  #define isatty _isatty
the library defines a wrong symbol, leading to a link error.

So, what we need is a way through which a package can avoid some or
all of these preprocessor #defines. Done as follows:
