/*
Per discussion w/ Ken, some time ago, we came to the conclusion that explicit
forward declarations (as on line 5 in this program) are preferrable over
implicit forward declarations because they make it explicit in which scope a
type is to be declared fully, eventually. As an aside, the machinery for it is
almost free in the compiler (one extra 'if' as far as I can tell).
