It's prior art all right, but it doesn't support your argument. :)
Quoting the latest version of XFree86's Xlib.h:

""
#if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(c_plusplus)
        int c_class;            /* C++ class of screen (monochrome,
etc.) */
#else
        int class;              /* class of screen (monochrome, etc.) */
#endif
""

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/lib/X11/Xlib.h?rev=3.26&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

There are tons of other cases of this in XFree86's headers.
