<Silex> HelgeSverre: imagine we're all .cpp files, and that each of us's goal is to create a dictionary. For some words, we have the definition, but for some of the words we're using in our definitions, we don't know the definition so we just use some declaration that tells that word exists somewhere else in another dictionary
<HelgeSverre> oh
<Silex> Now, imagine after we all done our dicitonnaries, someone takes all the dictionnaries and wants to do a big massive dictionnary
<HelgeSverre> Declare= It exists, but find it yourself, Define= Here i am use me! ?
<Silex> declare = I'll use NAME and it'd behave like this, but the code for it is somewhere else
<HelgeSverre> ah
<Silex> define = the code for NAME is..
<pod-more> Yay, I'm a .cpp file
