There was an earlier effort to rename variables like "new", but I
think the motivation was more like some folks wanted to try building
with C++ compilers. I do not know what the outcome of it was.
But people like to disect and include pieces of useful and/or
popular software in their programs within the limitation of how the
original is licensed. Especially a part well libified like reftable
may be a good candidate.
