Cbindgen parse's Rust and generates C header files; If a field in a
struct uses u16 as the name then Rust won't compile, and cbindgen
can't create the C header file.

I just tried this in Rust and it turns out you actually can use u16 as
a struct field name. My bad. I think that's a bad idea and should be
discouraged though.

That's a great news.

It means we do not have to worry about existing variables and
structure member names at all while working with cbindgen.
