Similarly, you would be seeing compiler errors if you wrote, say
  #define strcpy(s1,s2) memcpy((s1),(s2),strlen(s2)+1)
  #include <string.h>

But that would be *your* problems, right? :-) Once again, not all C
libraries define fabs() as a macro, since often there are more efficient way
to do the job. And I was talking about those other C libraries.
