The problem is that it is optional, so when you're reading other people's
code you'll still have to deal with inline definitions, and you'll need
a decent editor (doesn't have to be an IDE, even basic editors like
notepad++ and editpad pro support code folding and function lists) to
easily read it.
No pun intended, but having it as _mandatory_ would be a little to much for
people like me that don't like this proposal at all.

Exactly, so we're adding a lot of code noise, while you still have to use
an editor for codes that don't outline, so you might as well just use an
smart editor in the first place.
