The problem is that it is optional, so when you're reading
other people's
code you'll still have to deal with inline definitions, and
you'll need
a decent editor (doesn't have to be an IDE, even basic editors
like
notepad++ and editpad pro support code folding and function
lists) to
easily read it.
No pun intended, but having it as _mandatory_ would be a little
to much for people like me that don't like this proposal at all.
