I'm wondering whether it would be preferred
1. to put a declaration just before the definition, in lib.h and
sort.h
2. deviate these functions, as their signatures are well-known and
somewhat standardized
Seeing that so far no-one else has replied to this: My take is
"neither".
It is the very nature of extern gnu_inline functions to work like this.
This could well be a justification text: violations of required rules
need either to be fixed or justified.
