Sorry, the function declaration/definitions.

They are designed like glib headers, you have to include spice.h,
the only exception is the server code which has however to include
them in a proper order.

Yes, is the exception that prove the rule.

Ok, then you post the wrong link to prove your point.

There are a bit of inconsistency, indeed.
In some file some more "gobject/glib" style was followed (like column
indentation or parameter indentation).
That's why defining a "we'd like this style" but not be too restrictive
and more respectful of current code avoids to change everything.
