please provide more details on this. i was and still using such a
technique, so want to be prepared for those pitfalls before i actually
encounter them.

i mean this:

class MyView: UIView {
    optional part Drawing
}

part Drawing of MyView { // **** forgot to include this into target
    override func drawRect(...) {
        .....
    }
}

the app compiles but doesn't work correctly.
