I may have misunderstood. When the following argument is given:

  /headerUnit:angle foo.h=/some/foo.h.ifc

Does that mean MSVC will not perform a lookup in the include
directories and will just apply that for both `#include <foo.h>` and
`import <foo.h>`? Even if no there was no foo.h in any of the include
directories?

Is there ever a situation where the compiler would need the path to
the original header?
