That's basically what happens internally. I don't think it's like Java, 
where putting multiple sources on the same line does things that 
compiling them separately can't.  (For example, putting multiple sources 
on the same line is the only way to get Java to compile circular 
dependencies between classes, last I looked.)

Yes. About 20 years ago. :-)  It was editor macros in Teco (aka PMate).
