There are currently a number of flags that indicate that a file is a part.
The official one is only present in files that have been updated since it
was made official. However, this isn't a problem, since any BFC-certified
part is guaranteed to have the indicator.
The thing is, it might make sense to force BFC on in a file even when it's
not actually a part. I can't think of anything off-hand, but it seems to me
that a command that forced BFC to be on would handle all possible cases,
whereas treating parts as special would only take care of parts.
As a matter of fact, once I do get BFC working in LDView, my behavior will
indeed be triggered by whether or not LDView considers a file a part, and
not by what directory the file came from. I do parse the meta-statements
that indicate a file is a part.
