The primary benefit comes from compiling everything in one pass.

The lack of prototypes means you can inline something as soon as you see
a call to it because you have it's definition.  At one point that was
a pretty big help.  I believe I have a second pass in there for other
reasons so adding prototype support would probably not be a big deal
at this point.
