A great deal of it is is REQUIRED for standards compliance.  If the
implementation of a Standard C (or POSIX) function depends on a
non-Standard library routine, the name by which that routine is called
MUST NOT be in the user's namespace.

In this case, since str* is in the implementation namespace, qpopper
is clearly in the wrong.
