It's a good idea to omit parameter names from prototypes entirely, so
there's no chance of conflicting with an application #define.  Not
that a sensible application would be making macros out of common
lower-case names, but just for namespace cleanliness.  Of course the
same can't be done for structure fields, unfortunately.
