Child documents are loaded into memory. So this is do-able. I've also thought
it would be useful.
Ah, well there you go! (I haven’t actually used the master-child capability so
obviously was under a misimpression about how it worked.)
The advantage is that you can more easily navigate through the document.
Each chapter of a book, say, can be a separate document. That's one way
I've used them. But it can also be useful to keep a collection of math
macros in a single document, and then include that (as a child) when you
need your favorite macros. I've got a few documents like that, for
different purposes.
