[Moose-dev] Re: Method split in several textual files

In short, partial *classes* allow you to split the definition of a class across multiple files, or alternatively you could think about it as a code compilation unit separated over multiple files. The reason for the existence of this feature is - primarily - to provide a nice split between generated code and user code, as in the Windows Forms Designer that generates its code in a separate file, while developers have almost (you should delete the initialization call in the ctor) full control over the form's other code file.
