Agreed, Rob Pike is true blue - and I also respect him greatly - but what
he wrote back then (including the grumble about not using include guards)
just doesn't hold today. If one thinks about it in an abstract sense, it's
inverting the child-module dependency maintenance onto the parent module. It
was also somewhat hypocritical in that it was a form of compiler lexical
analyzer pre-optimization in it's own right.
