[RFC] msvcrt: defines break C++ code

Folks,

We have a lot of code in msvcrt headers like so:

#define umask _umask
#define unlink _unlink
#define write _write

This breaks C++ that define a write method in a header,
and then implement it like so:

#include <io.h>
void MyClass::write(...) { write(...); }

I suggest we turn those defines into inlines, like this:

inline int write(int fd, const void* ptr, unsigned int size) { return _write(fd, ptr, size); }

Any other solutions?
