Unified headers are generally bad, because they relieve the library developer of the responsibility to provide loosely-coupled modules clearly separated by their purpose and abstraction. If the function name is a predicate, like is_adult or in_tree, and will read naturally in a conditional context, then I think it's alright to skip assigning its result. I know I'd much prefer my constant values to be protected by explicit, syntactic constructs that will warn when compiling, rather than implicit, obscure rules that will seg-fault when violated.
