Search for "reserved identifier". When I did so, the first hit was
section 2.2.2, containing a complete list of reservations, with a suffix
of "_t" being reserved for "Any header".

The second hit was B.2.12, which provides an explanation for that rule.
I couldn't find confirmation of my understanding that identifiers ending
in _t are reserved specifically for use as type names.
