Add warning about binding multiple modules (#635)
Issue #633 suggests people might be tempted to copy the test scripts self-binding code, but that's a bad idea for pretty much anything other than a test suite with self-contained test code. This commit adds a comment as such with a reference to the documentation that tells people how to do it instead.

/*
|
||||
For testing purposes, we define a static global variable here in a function that each individual
|
||||
test .cpp calls with its initialization lambda. It's convenient here because we can just not
|
||||
compile some test files to disable/ignore some of the test code.
|
||||
|
||||
It is NOT recommended as a way to use pybind11 in practice, however: the initialization order will
|
||||
be essentially random, which is okay for our test scripts (there are no dependencies between the
|
||||
individual pybind11 test .cpp files), but most likely not what you want when using pybind11
|
||||
productively.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, see the "How can I reduce the build time?" question in the "Frequently asked questions"
|
||||
section of the documentation for good practice on splitting binding code over multiple files.
