Copy & Paste in WDSC is pretty easy :)

As I see it, the comments you include in the prototype, and duplicate
in the procedure should be pretty static, just like the interface to
the procedure itself. I suppose if the prototypes are in the same
member the duplication probably isn't needed...

But I always put prototypes in a separate member.

I don't like duplicating comments just as much as I don't like
duplicating code. Worse, we don't have separate members for
prototypes, they are in the same member as the code.
