If that's the entire benefit, then I think this is a rather hefty
price to pay for the elimination of a makefile. Oh wow, I can type
"javac MyClass.java" and it picks up all the others! If you're
dividing a project into multiple files already, is it that hard to
have one more that defines the relationships between the others?
