Re: RFC: status icon support

    Where is the point in combining a prototype that won't compile under K&R
    compilers with a K&R definition (which won't compile under C++ or newer
    standard compilers)?

Our prototypes compile just fine in a K&R compiler, due to _P.

The reason I prefer K&R style in function definitions is that the
argument type declarations are easier to read when not inside the
parentheses.
