Description
While working on splitting `haxe.io` stuff, I once again came to think that it would be useful to be able to omit function body for non-extern @:coreApi classes which would mean that function body is copied from the common class.
For example:
Comon `haxe.io.Input`
``` haxe
class Input {
public function readByte() : Int {
throw "Not implemented";
}
public function readInt8() : Int {
var n = readByte();
if( n >= 128 )
return n - 256;
return n;
}
}
```
Target-specific `haxe.io.Input`
``` haxe
@:coreApi class Input {
public function readByte() : Int {
return someImplementation();
}
public function readInt8() : Int; // use the same algorithm
}
```
