[jira] Commented: (BOO-224) allow for partial classes

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO-224?page=comments#action_46074 ] 

Daniel Grunwald commented on BOO-224:
-------------------------------------

I think the partial keyword should be required.
It allows you to quickly see that a class is NOT partial, so you don't have to 
spend time searching the other parts. That is good both for humans and IDE's.
And if you need a partial class, it's only 7 letters to add.

> add the "partial" modifier to type definitions such that you can spread the 
> defintion of a class accross multiple physical files.  example:
> in SomeClass-1.boo
> partial class SomeClass:
>       field1 as string
>       field2 as string
>       
>       def someOp():
>               someOpInSecondFile()
>               
>       def someOpInFirstFile():
>               pass
>               
> in SomeClass-2.boo
> partial class SomeClass:
>       def someOpInSecondFile():
