Question about header file documentation

[Chris Snow <chris@baldric.uwo.ca>]

I was wondering something about comments in .h files:

I always thought it would be useful to put a comment by prototypes for
functions, indicating in what file the code resides. Eg:

myheader.h:
...
...
int myfunction(int blah);  /* coolcode.c */

coolcode.c:
...
int myfuncion(int blah)
{
...
}
...


However, it seems like none (or very few) of the kernel header files do
this.  Is there a particular reason that I don't see ??

Thanks
