        !            31:    compile merely because they included a header that poisoned the

        !            36:    of the poisoning process anyway (although for symbols that are
        !            37:    provided only via a macro, the result is a compilation error rather
        !            38:    than a warning containing "literal string").  Also note that in

        !            43:      [getline]) in configure.ac, which potentially defines
