I think this falls under the PIMPL idiom, which is described by Herb Sutter at:

Quite frankly, I don't see much point in using the PIMPL idiom. I'd much rather use:
struct widget; shared_ptr<widget> make_widget(); void frobnicate( widget & );
Exactly! Ditto. Just what my last post said. It is a very "C" style rather then C++, but its compiling speed enhancements are very nice.
