There are ways. Long ago I wrote an assembler that avoided forward
declarations by making two passes over the source. C doesn't do that,
for reasons.

C does allow implicit declarations. You can call a previously
undeclared function, and C will trust that the types you're passing
are the types the function's expecting. I think it's a bad idea, and
it usually yields warnings suggesting that it's a bad idea. I think
any form of implicit typing is a bad idea.
