> why do we need 'is separate'

This is just another tool to break up long files (and thus reduce
the burden of changes for recompilation).

Imagine a package with a task embedded in the body (easy to
imagine).  Imagine the task is substantial.  The task spec can
appear in the body, while the task body 'is separate'.
