Description
Earlier request: #7.
Implementation attempt: #1073.
One problem with this is that these names are apparently not symbols but only macros on some operating systems. (The C standard doesn't require these to be symbols.)

Research direction
Start by reading the earlier request in #7 and implementation attempt #1073, then inspect the platform-specific bindings for stdin, stdout, and stderr. Determine how the target operating systems expose these names, including systems where they are macros rather than symbols; done means the requested names are accessible consistently without assuming they are C symbols.
