If we ever get to where we're autoloading class bodies, they'd have the
same problem with embedded declarations. The compiler can't work with
information that isn't there.
This is something that is blurry to me: how does one separate declaration
and implementation. It is clear that a declaration has got a {...} block
and an implementation doesn't. But does that mean that there are package
files that function like header files in C++ or like interface files in
Ada and Modula?
Or does that work more like Cecil signature declarations which can be
spread out as needed and actually express a callers expectations which
can be matched with the implementation side?
