They also often need a lot of user guidance because the declarations
don't give enough semantic information about things like the meanings
of pointers and references.  So, declarations + user guidance.

However, there's a whole class of code transformation problems (see
Aspect Oriented Programming for example) for which you need the
implementations too.
