Adding a new prototype to a copy book may lead to duplicate definitions. 
So, in order to accomplish something in program A you extend a copy 
book. A few months later you modify program B and it won't compile 
(Experience? How did you guess.). Thus, it makes sense for a change 
management system to force a compile for all sources referencing the 
copy book.
