The challenge to handle truly external procedures correctly is to use - if
possible - the correct interface. For EXTERNAL this is not quite possible - but
one should try to merge the different declarations while one parses the file,
e.g. when one encounters "EXTERNAL" one generates a GSYM - which later gets
updated with the interface (if present somewhere), by procedure usage ("call"),
or by the actual external procedure if it comes later in the file. At the same
time, a consistency check for type and arguments can be done.
