Agree with you on Reflections and Contracts (have actual fundamental value) but not so much on Modules (more incremental and restructuring).

If - as some have reported - modules can bring my compile time down significantly that is bigger than anything else and it will be worth the effort to adopt. That is a big if - modules are still in the early adopter stage and so we are still learning how they work. In general my project is late adopters.

Amen ;-)
John Lakos' old Large Scale C++ Software Design (there is a newer edition which i have not read) taught me C++ "physical design".
Is working on things that would be useful. The early adopters of modules have reported some very intriguing results - it isn't ready for me to try yet, but so far what the standard committee has done looks like it will be a win for me in 5 more years when I finally can adopt it. Reflection and contracts are two other things coming that have some intriguing uses in the real world and I'm hopeful to see how/if they work out.
