Not exactly.

On all operating systems except for Windows, the C library comes from the OS
and the C++ library comes with the compiler, so they are separate
implementations and have limitations on what the C++ standard can influence on
the C library, even the <cxxxx> headers.

So this change needs to take into account the difficulty in implementing it and
evaluate whether it's worth the effort.
