Outlining of member functions is the practice of placing the declaration of a
member function in the struct/class/union, and placing the definition of it at

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?
You import the module containing the declaration. Like in C++.
2) Does outlining limited only to static functions?
No.
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.
??? You find the declaration in the module that declares it. Same as for C++.
