This is something that is blurry to me: how does one separate declaration
and implementation. It is clear that a declaration has got a {...} block
and an implementation doesn't. But does that mean that there are package
files that function like header files in C++ or like interface files in
Ada and Modula?
Or does that work more like Cecil signature declarations which can be
spread out as needed and actually express a callers expectations which
can be matched with the implementation side?
