Agree with Eric that it may very well be OS specific, and even OS version
specific, whether the OS headers provide their own conditional blocks for
C++ specifying extern "C", or not. It seems odd that it's that way for all
OS. Could also simply have been a mistake, or a bad assumption at the time
that it was written. I'm not sure what the standard says about nested extern
"C" blocks?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
