extern prototypes in a C file not in a header === bad. Reward of 1 coffee to each person who can give any reason when it is not bad. Can we make it a coding standard that we never define prototypes for external functions in source files. If we need to share prototypes between more than one source file for parrot private functions then we should use a private header file. If we need prototypes for other people's missing prototypes then we should do that in some sort of common header file.
