Declaration after use is an abomination, and should not bear consideration.
FORWARD is acceptable for mutually recursive procedures.

What has been omitted from this discussion is that one-pass restrictions would
prevent mutually importing internal modules.  This is a real and difficult
restriction, which will force one to promote internal modules to become
library modules sooner than one might wish.

The question is can we live with such restrictions to gain compilation speed.
My opinion is yes.  And yours (pl.)?
