Oops, I implemented an entirely unrelated warning in message 351, which
is about a function or object declaration that is outside a header and
thus may lead to inconsistent definitions when it is declared
differently in several translation units. This message helps finding
cases where identifiers are needlessly exported instead of being
declared 'static'.

I now added another message 352 that covers the case from the
discussion, which is about declarations inside function bodies with
storage class 'extern'.

Sorry for the confusion.
