Outlining of member functions is the practice of placing the

placing the definition of it at global scope in the module or

Many details were ommited. Just some of them, others were raised.
1) If you allow to have definition in external module (by the
way, this point is not clear), how can you control name mangling?
2) Does outlining limited only to static functions?
3) With UFSC if you have a.foo you cannot know where to found
foo(a) - it can be hidden in dozens of imports, and if there are
public imports, the situation becomes even more complex.
