1. A real splitting between source files and modules
One solution is an alternative include to mod Otherfile; That would
not automatically create a new module and put the content of the file in it.
So basically the same as C++ include. I know there's include!, but
is discouraged and from my tests also did not work for including types.
The other option is to have something like Dart. There you have a
top level file for you module/library, where you specify which other
files are part of the module.
Like `part "otherfile.rs <http://otherfile.rs>";` In the other files
you specify `part of myModule;` to make clear that they belong to each
other.
For engineering reasons I really like the fact that you can always find
the definition of any name by simply looking in the same file. Any name
"foo" is always:
1. Defined in the same file.
2. Imported at the top of the file.
3. Defined in the prelude.
For large projects, this eliminates a lot of grepping through the codebase.
