Yup.  And there are new-fangled tools like grep and vi/emacs that even
make it easy!

Definitely.  I've worked on a number C projects where the source code

wasn't done to provide separate namespaces or for information hiding
or code reuse. It was just done to piss me off when I'm trying to find
something...
