There is currently no way to spread class definition across multiple .vapi
files. So if you only want to define new classes or new static functions to
a namespace, you can put them in a separate .vapi, but if you need to add
methods to classes, you need to add them in the .vapi that defines the class.

Declaring methods in the .vapi that are than not available in the library is
not a problem if those methods are not used.
