   Pascal had an explicit distinction: functions are procedures which return a result.

   K&R C didn't bother with procedures: everything is a function, and if you omit return at the end, it will return garbage to the caller 😂

   Later, ANSI C added the "void" type and (optional) function prototypes, making this footgun somewhat less dangerous.

   Support for declaring and defining functions without a full prototype will be finally removed in C23:
