Since people already use precompiled headers with C++, I don't think
this change has much chance of making it compile faster.
Is it really so?
I would expect that with proper modules C++ compilers could achieve
compile times similar to what other module based languages offer.
Specially if templates are also stored in a module friendly format.
But then again I lack enough compiler development experience to be able
to judge that.
Assuming you're right, then C++ is really a lost cause, and the current
trend of standards might follow what happened to Extended ISO Pascal,
which vendors ignored in favour of Turbo Pascal as the defacto standard.
