Your workaround is fine, but what about the debugger ??? will the debugger be
able to understand that the source of the files are in one huge file and not
in a few hundreds small files ??? People don't really want to keep around both
the huge source file and the split-up one-routine-per-file sources.
We are talking about sources of size 1MB and over.
