I think the *interface* of make_hlds has been quite stable for a long while
now, so further changes in that (as opposed to in its implementation) are
not that likely. Even after this change, the complexity of making the HLDS
is all hidden behind the interface presented by make_hlds.m, and I think it
would be a good idea to keep that. You'll note that the interfaces of most
submodules of make_hlds.m contain more predicate declarations than the
interface of make_hlds.m itself.

Zoltan.
