You do need to put the prototypes into a /copy file, but once you get
that set up to have the prototypes copied into the programs and their
callers, the cost of doing that extra work to create the prototype for a
new program is minor compared to the benefits you get from using

prototypes.

While I agree it is best practice and should be done. It is not a NEED to
put prototypes in a /copy file. The system doesn't force you to do it that
way.
