Hello,

Several core developers a bit unhappy with the way Argument Clinic currently scatters generated code into hand-written C modules. The opinion is that it makes C files more confusing and annoying to navigate through. Several solutions have been proposed: - move all generated code to separate C files, which would then be #included'd into the main module file - gather all generated code to a single place in the C module file, for example near the end (Larry's "accumulator" idea) - prefix all Clinic-generated lines with a recognizable marker, e.g. "/* AC */" What do you think?

For what it's worth, I don't have a strong opinion about it. I had the first one (separate files) working at one point, as as memory serves Guido he didn't like that approach and I should remove the feature. I'm happy for Argument Clinic to do any/all/none of the above.
