Such a scheme can be conforming, IIANM.  Having different names
is kind of beside the point:  there must be a way of converting
back and forth between the two call points, which in practical
terms means they must be relatable without knowing their names.
That relationship holds because it must be possible to convert a
pointer-to-function of one flavor to the other flavor, at which
point the names usually have long since been lost.  But there
very well could be different calling conventions used for the
different flavors (ie, prototyped and prototype-less).
