Maybe I've misunderstood the whole thing, but I think this is a bad idea.
The most important thing with a C++ class is its interface to the outside
world, i.e. the header file. That is why I design the header file first,
and then the .cc-file. That is also why I think .cc-file stubs should be
generated from .h-files in any decent programming environment.
