Interesting. That says that if I place a "stdlib.h" file in one of
the places searched for a
#include "stdlib.h"
directive but *not* for a
#include <stdlib.h>
directive, then the behavior is undefined. I suspect that wasn't the
intent.

I suspect that the intent was that if you place a new stdlib.h in one of
the <> places, you're effectively creating a new C _implementation_, not
a new C source program. If you place a stdlib.h in one of the "" places,
you're doing the latter, trying to create a different program in C, but
one that has undefined behaviour.
