Or use the compatibility header file, which I am confident will work.

Should be clever enough. At the moment, it understands to rename
function calls (but not method names), declaration types and variables.
It is smart enough to understand 'struct' and 'class', even nested, and
will handle inline functions/constructor initialisers in 'class'.

The only thing it can't handle is major preprocessor trickery (such as
constructing names from arguments, or mismatched braces/quotes within
preprocessor symbols).

I generally agree with what you said, however.

Bye for now,
