Have you considered how this will work for "binless" libraries (header-
only before modules, module interface-only after), which don't have the
"library file itself" (I assume you refer to the library binary, such
as .a/.so)?

Yes. When we discussed it we accepted that "interface unit only libraries" will depend on stronger package management convergence.

It's possible the pkg-config extension could just point to the metadata file in those cases.

But... There's some hint that "interface unit only" libraries may be less viable than people think.

Could you please elaborate? Where are you seeing such hints?
