macros first appeared in 4.4BSD.
+.SH NOTES
+Some BSDs provide SIMPLEQ instead of STAILQ.
+They are identical, but for historical reasons
+they were named differently on different BSDs.
+STAILQ originated on FreeBSD, and SIMPLEQ originated on NetBSD.
+For compatibility reasons, some systems provide both sets of macros.
+Glibc provides both STAILQ and SIMPLEQ,
+which are identical except for a missing SIMPLEQ equivalent to
+.BR STAILQ_CONCAT ().
