Yes, i had something similar in mind.
But what concrete optimization could that be?

Function prototypes, external data, classes or interfaces are in shared
headerfiles anyway. Considering code of a set of source files is combined in one
_TEXT segment anyway - so there is no need to have far calls/jumps.

Is it like merging associated source files together to a huge one,
allowing a kind of inlining across source files?

Oh yes, i found something:
