 This behaviour seems to be mandated by the standard. 6.9.1[#5] states:
    If the declarator includes a parameter type list, the declaration of
    each parameter shall include an identifier, except for the special case
    of a parameter list consisting of a single parameter of type void, in
    which case there shall not be an identifier. No declaration list shall
    follow.
