If module files are pretty much memory dumps that makes it all the more frustrating that it's taken this long, given thats what precompiled headers essentially are.

There are new rules about "reachability" and "module linkage". Not to mention things like methods defined within the class declaration are no longer as-if `inline` when within a module. It's not just "a faster preprocessor" mode; there are real rules associated with module boundaries.
