Agreed.

Not really sure I agree.  I prefer having my #includes in the .c,
because I believe the header file, if it needs to be included by other
.c files, must not interfere much with them, i.e., they shouldn't carry
other (possible obscure) header files that won't be needed for the .c
file(s).

But as you said, it's all IMO.  You suggestion still seems sensible to
me, much better than something I've read some days ago: "Why complicate?
Create one big .h file which #includes *everything* your project needs,
and then just #include it on the top of every .c file of your project".
Heh...
