I'm not sure "public" has much to do with it. It is
certainly OK to have multiple program units in a file,
if all but the last program unit are utility routines
for the last program unit and THEY ARE NAMED AS SUCH.

When they are given willy-nilly names, even if they
are utility routines, they become essentially
impossible to find if there are a lot of them.

I am *totally* sympathetic to Konstantinos lament.

Cheers,

David
