For one thing, talking to other developers is what comments are for. I tend to dislike header files because it means the information I need to grok a piece of code is squirreled away in more places. This is less a systems problem than the fact that developers often take it as an excuse not to adequately explain what I'm looking at where I'm looking at it. But I'll go with whatever the convention is for what I'm working with.
