If someone wanted to ensure that all static functions defined in a
translation unit are declared near the top, there could be a separate
tool to generate, or at least check, the declarations.  I'm not aware of
any such tool, which suggests there probably isn't much demand for it.

I'm not sniping.  I'm just making a statement about what the stated
facts bring to mind, in my mind.  You made a similar kind of
statement.  Is there some reason you think you should be entitled
to do that and I should not be?
