 Additional declarations may be placed into .c files. Duplicate declarations
 are allowed as long as the function types are identical.
 
+It is encouraged to declare custom converter types a second time right
+above the converter function definition. The preprocessor will then catch
+any mismatch between the declarations.

 TBD: Make a list of fantasy types like *rw_buffer*.
