I took that paragraph from the libiberty.h file included with gcc 3.2.2; it
seems to apply to the OpenMP functions, does it not? FSF isn't trying to
copyright the prototypes for OpenMP.

I looked at a couple of the header files used in building gcc -- and they
included function documentation in the .h, and some (but not all) functions
included dummy argument names (which I've always consider a good,
self-documenting coding practice).

In other words, I used actual pieces of gcc as examples of how to write a .h
file! ;)

Ah, well, back to the editor. :)
