A quick straw poll. Do people prefer to have all sources compiled

Separate compilation imposes continuous re-processing of files.
Since when?
The main idea about modules is exactly to only process files when
they are compiled, once.
Don't mix modules with C and C++ translation units.

Importing the same file from many different places requires the compiler
to reparse it each time, if those places are compiled during separate
compiler runs.

If modules are used correctly, a .di should be created with the public
interface and everything else is already in binary format, thus the
compiler is not really parsing everything all the time.
Actually, having a strong background in languages with modules, I don't
like having just .d files being given all the time to the compiler, as I
know there are better ways.
