There are currently three names used:

  - `CXX_MODULES`: for any TU which uses `export` (module or partition)
  - `CXX_MODULE_INTERNAL_PARTITIONS`: for any TU which is a partition
    without `export` and not an implementation unit (needs to be
    separate because of the `-internalPartition` flag is needed during
    scanning; it wouldn't be that important if the non-standard MSVC
    extention needed the flag and this one did not)
  - `CXX_MODULE_HEADERS`: for header units

Would `CXX_MODULE_HEADER_UNITS` be more acceptable? Are the other names
fine? FWIW, further bikeshedding can go here to avoid cluttering the
list:

We can also move to Discourse if it gets too long on GitLab.
