Ok, that is a good point but then we are talking about a different thing 
already. Now the question is whether a huge source file is a bad thing or not.
IMO, the compiler should not force a programmer to make a 34 000 lines source 
file (like VirtualTreeView has). Programmer should have a choice to split it 
if he wants.
