Yeh, stuff like that. Apparently Lattice C for the Amiga accepts this and
silently fixes it up. Other C compilers (some UNIX compilers, apparently)
do the same thing, because I keep getting UNIX and Lattice-C/Amiga source
that looks like this... so I get to go through fixing up all the definitions
so it compiles. It's getting old.

Please... folks... write your code consistently or don't bother.
