I may be having a Pavlovian reaction to this... It's one of those things where (I believe) I got burned pretty bad in the distant past, and decided never to use linked files ever again in Visual Studio.

However, it's so long ago that I can't really remember if there actually was a problem, and if so, what it was... Perhaps I'm just imagining things...

@moodmosaic and @ecampidoglio Do you have any opinion about this use of linked files?

(As a side note, when contributing to open source, the less changes each PR introduces, the more likely it is to be accepted. This thing with linked assembly files may or may not be a good idea, but in this context, it's polluting the PR with something that's totally unrelated to its overall purpose...)
