Good!
You probably already know that fts_.h is a special case,
in that it's not a template.

As for how to get rid of the underscore, here's what
I've been planning for a long time:

[background: there are fts functions and an fts.h in glibc,
 but there are fundamental ABI differences, so glibc cannot
 (or will not) break ABI compatibility to take advantage
 of the improvements in the gnulib version. ]

So, I'm going to rename everything, from the structures to the public
functions and the files themselves.  There will be a new module, probably
named gfts, with all of the renamed symbols and files.  I'll deprecate
the old fts module and eventually remove it.
