On the other hand Documentation/SubmitChecklist contains this:

1: If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares
   that facility.  Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones
   that you use.

Then this falls back on the definition of "facility". (And other academic
discussions.)

I guess Russell will need to decide on this.
