I think you need to explain these much better, simply because  
wordings like "this is the right place to put stuff like" is too  
unspecific to be useful.

I haven't heard the name "code file". I thought they were named  
"header" and "source" in C/C++ lingo.

The problems with names like these, is that comon usage is to  
regulate versioning.

So I think names like "semantic-definition-preamble", "semantic- 
definition-postamble", or something like that, will be better. :-)  
Even those that like to program in the C++ C-like language subset may  
switch to something else than a union.
