basic test case for both warnings

Even more than the still-unfixed <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW --- - -Wredundant-decls not implemented"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=4803">bug #4803</a>, I find -Wmissing-declarations
essential in C++ to make accidental parameter mismatches compiler errors rather
than linker errors.

However, -Wmissing-declarations seems to be used for something else, as in <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW --- - missing error when bound member function not called"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=10830">bug
#10830</a>.

Additionally, you could emit better warnings than GCC if, when emitting the
warning for -Wmissing-declarations, you also emit the location of any
declarations this definition is overloading.</pre>
