And technologies should be for machines and for people, but C++ 
is not for machines and not for people, it's only for 
compatibility with itself. BTW, modules break the compatibility, 
which makes it impossible to migrate to them, because then you 
would throw away or rewrite all your codebase, and that still 
doesn't guarantee the result will fly; that said, they destroy 
the whole reason of existence of C++.
