For named modules, yes. I can't think of a reason why it would matter
myself, but I'm also not an implementor; I'm sure there are gremlins in
the details. For header units, it seems that some implementations
(Clang) may care about consuming target flags. I wish it to not be so,
but that's something for the Clang developers to (hopefully) figure out.
