Upstream-Issue: NixOS/nix#9689

Perhaps a duplicate issue.

C++ modules seem objectively better than headers.

Perhaps some of the stuff that Nix does with headers can't be
replicated with modules but it seems like you can use them both at the same time.

For reference: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/StandardCPlusPlusModules.html

This would be nice but it's blocked on meson and it is unlikely that will change soon enough to track this as a practical work item.

Actually it seems Meson is working on C++ modules more than I thought; there is apparently some support with GCC and MSVC now? https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5024#issuecomment-2038233157

Still, probably won't be production ready for a while though yeah.
