Re: A Different Approach To Compiling C++

Hi

It is a kind request to please comment on the merit, plausibility,
usefulness, and interest in my proposal.

I will resay the bottom line. This improves compilation-speed by 25-40% in
the case of header-files to header-unit replacement approach on top of
speed-up achieved by the conventional compilation approach.
In the case of modules, it improves the compilation-speed by 3-5%.

I will be very grateful.

Best
Hassan Sajjad
