Probably I'm just showing my ignorance WRT C++ but somehow I had it in my head that the no-.h header files were allowed to be pre-compiled or included in the compiler (rather than being separate files) or similar.
That's correct, but it appears to be a fairly rare practice. My guess is that the increase in maintenance complexity makes putting them in the compiler itself impractical, especially given the classical library vs compiler split. Meanwhile, if it's just a matter of precompiled headers, then treating it as a caching problem and continuing to supply the 'raw' headers makes adoption easier, particularly for people using tools like makedepend. Note that the same is true of the standard C header files, so this issue isn't new with C++.
