Is it? Maybe the mailing list ate it?

I second that opinion. It is consistent with the terminology we discussed.

I think having no default is the correct thing to do. You could have a
default of null, if we want to allow it not to be specified. Then any
tooling that needs to know and doesn't receive knows it can't presume
one way or another. I'd argue it's cheap enough to identify that it
shouldn't be optional, though.

Yes, it would be nice if there was a "-importableUnit" so the tooling
wouldn't have to care.

Yes, but it would likely result in a second read of the source file.
If the compiler is already reading it to get the dependencies, so I
can see tooling decide *not* to care about the non-interface files.
