Implement it in a popular compiler or library.

I know we are talking about C++, but the ISO C committee, over the past several decades, has repeatedly ignored working, good features in GCC and invented crap in their place.

This is part of the modules mess in the first place. Modules were implemented in MSVC and clang, and neither agreed with the others implementation.

Also if MSVC came along with an "extension" to c++, I can only imagine the uproar suggesting that this is now step 2 of EEE.
