Just for completeness I'd like to add that because of this the compiler will
also be unable to detect if a function that formerly took a parameter is
changed to accept no parameters, as I just encountered in xcdroast, where
after adding correct prototypes the compiler suddenly stopped with errors.
So all the more reason to *allways* use (void) in function prototypes :)
