Creating byzantine language rules to cater to unimportant or
non-existent use cases will slaughter the language.
We already have bizantine
s/bizantine/non-trivial/
language rule here.
Also note the emphasis on 'unimportant or non-existent'.
A reason why those rules exist is probably related to the fact that
there are many distinct concepts in the language (including some C
heritage) and function declarations try to bridge between them.
