But with -Wmissing-prototypes (an option I am going to claim I
convinced RMS to put in after it was suggested by another person here)
you can catch any function which doesn't have a prototype.  This
reduces the problem to making sure you create a prototype for every
function you use, and not putting a prototype in more than one header
file.

I kind of hope -Wignored-returns gets in, too.
