Though "extern" was carried over from C, the meaning of the keyword is
well defined (and also *not* a deprecated feature) in C++. Although "extern"
is not needed in my example, there are cases where you *have* to use it -
for example in the declaration

  extern int const i;

Of course it could be argued if my usage of "extern" is good or bad style,
but this should give raise to a new thread.
