Where does this "convention" come from? It's the first time I hear about
such a bizarre requirement.
POSIX does not specify the existence of an include file with a dash, but
does specify that an include file with an underscore must exist: <nl_types.h>.
The glibc sources contain more files with an underscore (3288) than files
with a dash (2270).
If I understand it well, RMS is talking as a gnulib user here. gnulib is
dedicated to serve its users, but there are reasonable requests and less
reasonable ones.
