None of the solutions have anything to do with the standard, only compiler
implementations. That means this is not the right mailing list for your
proposal.

You should approach the gcc and LLVM communities directly with your proposal.

Additionally, I recommend you consult with CMake and Meson developers to see
if they have a similar problem and if your proposed solution works for them
too, because if it does and you approach the compiler communities with a
united request from the major buildsystems, they are far more likely to engage
you in your request.
