It's also not something we're stuck with forever - we can start with it inline (which has the advantage of keeping all the code in the same place), and later move to having the helpers in a separate file included from the implementation file if we decide it makes sense to do so.

If we move big chunks of code around twice, I guess "hg blame" will break twice, too. That is another thing worth considering.

I agree with Serhiy, but that is probably known at this point. :)
