I added test 1135 just now that makes sure the order is maintained (or the
test case fails).

But:

1. It is important that you both and the test scan them in the same order!

2. The requirement to always add new ones last in this generated list will be
seriously awkward: right now multi.h is scanned last in the test (and I
believe the OS/400 script) so for example new easy functions couldn't be added
in easy.h where they all are now!

I don't have any immediate solution to this which is why I proceeded and
pushed the test anyway, as it will at least properly make us aware if or when
we break the order.
