In C, compilation units are completely independent, and can in

I should also point out that D can link to (more or less)
anything that C can, and yet does not have the weakness exploited
by the winning entry.
The only real reason that D is one wit less of a "system level
programming language" than C, is the heavyweight runtime library
- but that is irrelevant to the problem of type-checking
cross-module references within the same code base.
