Hey Andy.

The __must_check location is just personal belief
as it makes grep significantly easier

<qualifiers> type function(args...)

is a much easier grep pattern than

<qualifiers> type <qualifiers> function(args...)

extern function declarations are generally unnecessary
and should be avoided.

cheers, Joe
