Lattice C for the Amiga seems to accept prototypes with narrow
arguments and old-style definitions in the same scope.

Well, I don't know. I keep seeing people saying things like "I tried to
get this working both with and without prototypes, and finally gave up."
Or "I think this should work on a pre-ANSI compiler" followed by gobs
of complaints. And all the people saying "for portability, for now, stick
to K&R1".
