Separate compilation -- throwing the implementation in another file -- 
can also be a pretty good way to present a cleaner, shorter "main body" 
to an implementation and keep some "more-complicated but needed" 
processing separated out; example: parsing for a data-type, say on their 
'Input and 'Output attributes.
