   This is both a RFA
 and a question about:
  should this be considered as an obvious fix?
  
  i.e. shouldn't all functions declared in headers
have the extern modifier?
  Is this mandatory?
  It doesn't see to change anything in practice, but to me,
it seems like good practice...
... but remember that my C programming knowledge is weak...
