Couldn't you do the required renamings as preprocessor macros, e.g.,

#define typename _typename
#include <postgres_stuff>
#undef typename

#include <c++_stuff>

your_code;

I would expect very little enthusiasm for making PostgreSQL code C++
safe. There is already too much trouble keeping up with all the
variants of C.
