Using the <...> form has some benefits:

* You know which header is being included, since the current directory is
not searched (I know that this is implementation-specific, but it's often
true.)

* Some compilers treat the <...> code less "strictly", suppressing some high
level warnings that are good to have in user code, but often superfluous in
a low-level library.
