I'm all for good software engineering practice. But can you cite objective reasons why large source files are provably bad? Not "tangled monolithic messes", not poorly-factored code. I agree that those are bad--but so far nobody has proposed that either of those is true about unicodeobject.c (unless you are implicitly doing so above)
Well, "tangled monolithic mess" is quite true about unicodeobject.c, IMO. Seriously, I agree with Victor: navigating around unicodeobject.c is a PITA. Perhaps it isn't if you are using emacs, or you have 35 fingers, or just a lot of spare time, but in my experience it's painful. Regards Antoine.
