    You are both right.  Repeatedly typing function prototypes is a tedious
    waste of time, but we really would like type errors reported at compile
    time.

Since there is, as far as I know, no difference between the prototype
and the definition except for the `;', there is no extra typing to do.
Just copy the definition. Now I realise there are some brain dead
editors out there and I have upon occasion written C using `cat', but
I assume that anything anyone is willing to use for more than trivial
coding can manage a textual copy.
