 Making them a single file makes it very easy to just

 still put them in a proper shared library tree if you want.)
 
+Why not two files, one a header and one an implementation?
 The difference between 10 files and 9 files is not a big deal,
 but the difference between 2 files and 1 file is a big deal.
