Let me get this straight. reorderbuffer.c exports a function that needs
to be used by tqual.c. The obvious method to do this is to declare the
function in reorderbuffer.h and have tqual.c #include that. Apparently
you think it's better to have tqual.h declare the function. How is that
not 100% backwards? Even worse that it requires more header-inclusion
bloat for some functionality entirely unrelated to snapshots?

That sounds borderline insane from here. You need a whole lot more
justification than "I'm against it".
