Although I agree with a good bit of what you say here, I don't agree
with that.  If the member used by ppoll() (or just poll()) has a
different name than the one used for select(), it's much easier to,
say, grep for everyplace where the field you care about is used.  If
you use the same name for different things, that doesn't work.
