It does. Or more precisely, reserved for the standard OR implementations
of the standard. See the last line of the first table.

type with a different name on that page (and such a rule without
exceptions would conflict with the C standard type "FILE").

Those identifiers are reserved for the POSIX standard and operating
systems implementing it.
