So why is forward declarations allowed? It's the same principle!
No, because the declaration is guaranteed to follow in the same unit.
A unit forms a self-contained whole.
Unit loading is a difficult matter as it is. If you start spreading

the compiler can guarantee correctness.
But Florian should answer this, he is more knowledgeable about the
compiler internals.
