Hello,

Several core developers a bit unhappy with the way Argument Clinic
currently scatters generated code into hand-written C modules. The
opinion is that it makes C files more confusing and annoying to
navigate through.

Several solutions have been proposed:
- move all generated code to separate C files, which would then be
   #included'd into the main module file

- gather all generated code to a single place in the C module file, for
   example near the end (Larry's "accumulator" idea)

- prefix all Clinic-generated lines with a recognizable marker, e.g.
   "/* AC */"

What do you think?

Regards

Antoine.



Maybe overkill but why not follow 3 with 2 at the end of the file, the marker to be a very clear /* Generated by Argument Clinic - DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE */ or whatever wording is appropriate in this case.
