I personally think that's getting our priorities backwards, but
there's clearly a spectrum in terms of how much people care about the
cost of partial compiles, and I'm clearly all the way on one end of
it. I don't like having to think hard about where a function
prototype is or should be, and getting more consistency there would,
for me, outweigh all other considerations.
