As in, instead of reading a play which starts with a cast of characters,
they should be introduced whenever they first appear?
Suppose you're delving into a random scene, (or have an extract for use
elsewhere), and want to be reminded who a character is, you have to start
ploughing through from page one first until you encounter their first
mention?
And if you are editing the play, and the character's first appearance is
edited out, or is moved somewhere where it's no longer the first appearance;
how much work is it going to be to fix up declarations properly?
Getting back to C, wouldn't macros and enumerations (and file-scope
variables, external references, etc) also all benefit from being declared
where they are first used? (And what sort of mess would that make of any
program...).
Anyway I thought everyone used smart editors now, where you hover over a
name or something, and it tells you everything about it.
