FWIW, I've added several names to Boost.Python v2 which avoid being C++
keywords by the addition of a trailing underscore:

    class_
    int_
    long_
    ...

And I'm using the same header scheme as Aleksey:

    class.hpp
    int.hpp
    long.hpp
    ...

So, there's a kind of precedent.

Just FWIW.
