You might want to have a brush up on which direction C++ modules 
are heading in.  Notable talks would be those given at the GNU 
Cauldron for both 2017 and 2018.  The general run-down as I 
understand it.

Problem to solve: Compiler asks an Oracle about module A.

Phrased this way, Compiler is a client, Oracle is a server.

Oracle could be a file, socket, remote server, anything that can 
be read from or written to.

Communication can be done via a standard format (such as json).

This means that the Oracle (the implementation of) that keeps 
track of compilation and dependencies of the build is now someone 
else's problem as far as the Compiler is concerned.

I think what you've already started would fit well into this.
