I'll agree that Francois might have gone a bit overboard. But I must
confess I'm one who never has understood the "power" of separates
either. As near as I can tell, its only power is the ability to split up
cumbersome files into smaller files without having to go through the
pain of properly reencapsulating functionality into new packages. Does
it have other "powers" that I'm missing?
As powers go, I don't think that's enough to gain admittance to the
software engineering Hall of Justice. Perhaps it could be in Mystery
Men, if Invisible Boy gets the flu or something...
