This is so that the new keywords don't collide with existing code (the combination of underscore followed by a capital letter is reserved). For instance until C23, 'bool' was actually called '_Bool' internally.
Just as with stdbool.h before, there could be a stdlib header which wraps those internal names into something more human-friendly.
