I considered that some time ago.  

However, I must confess: file.h and file.c, to my mind, forms a
logical unit.  Consequently I think of file.pamphlet as that logical
unit be described.  I see no logical problem or exception that from
that logical unit, different sub-units are extracted to be processed by
the same tool (the C compiler). 
Consequently, I'm not convinced that it can be used an evidence for
the axiom.sty treatment.

I agree that the .pamphlet is clumsy, and we should not sacrifice
logic. 

I would like to understand more Ralf's suggestion, because I got
the impression that we already implemented what he is suggesting (but
apparently no).
