I know you're not flaming me Jiri, this is your style ;)

I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect, I'm a native spanish speaker.
Anyways, I still think declare-before-use improves code redability and
promotes conceptual clarity (think-before-code). And as someone else said:
it's easier to understand (and modify) other developers code when
declarations are before their use.

BTW Why don't you prove 'declare-before-use' doesn't enhance readability &
conceptual organization?
