The notion that when the standard refers to files does not necessarily imply a file in a traditional filing system is more fundamental than its late appearance in the middle of phase 7 of translation. Move that note right to the top of [lex] where we first talk of storing the program text in source files, where is will be understood even before the phases of translation.
