: 
:        6.11.5  Function definitions
: 
:        [#1] The use of function definitions with separate parameter
:        identifier  and  declaration  lists  (not   prototype-format
:        parameter type and identifier declarators) is an obsolescent
:        feature.
: 
: and "obsolescent feature" is defined as follows in the introduction:
: 
:        [#2] Certain features are obsolescent, which means that they
:        may be considered for withdrawal in future revisions of this
:        International  Standard.  They are retained because of their
:        widespread use, but their use in  new  implementations  (for
:        implementation  features)  or  new  programs  (for  language
:        [6.11] or library features [7.26]) is discouraged.

Deprecated doesn't mean they are no longer part of the standard.  Just
that next standard they could go away.
