(Granted, that old ugly codebase has a lot of problems of its 
own, and smaller files does not always mean small on the same 
scale that mach.d's files are small, but I can tell you from 
experience that once a single ~4,000 line module was broken down 
into many ~200 line modules, that code became a great deal easier 
to understand and to reason about and to maintain.)
