Emphasize in the examples that partial classes should (?) / can be in different files

Description

This isn't really an error, but in the examples, you have one partial class written immediately beneath another, with no indication there (you say it elsewhere) that the partial classes can be in different files. If it is true that most people use partial classes in different files, then maybe just a comment to drive the point home might be helpful:

// This might be in file AnExample.cs
public partial class AnExample {

}

// This might be in a second file, ExtraBits.cs
public partial class AnExample {

}

or something like that, hopefully you get the idea.

That's a good suggestion @rogersm-uwosh

I've added it to our backlog, and added the "help wanted" tag.
