Simon, I don't agree with your assessment. While unused prototypes don't occupy program object space, they do occupy space. Here's what I consider the advantages... 1) By Defining the prototypes you want to use, you make clear the intent. 2) Copying 1000 prototypes when you only need 2, in my opinion, increases the complexity with respect to debug. There's a lot of unused CRAP there when you copy all the unnecessary prototypes. I could probably name some more, but I've got to head out to the office about now!
