Although it may be a little bit nit picker, the module unit which declares the
std modules won't be header. It is a module unit. So it requires we implement
std modules by wrapping linemarkers around the std modules declaration, which
looks a little bit overkill.
And another point is that maybe we need to introduce another feature flags to
implement std modules. Although I tried to implement std modules within the
current features, I can't prove we can implement std modules in that way in the
end of the day.
Let me add some more words. The standards require us to implement std modules
without deprecating the system headers. This strategy leads the direction to
"implement the components in the original headers and control their visibility
in the std module unit".
It may look like:
```
//--- std.cppm
module;
#include <algorithm>
...
export module std;
```
Then how can control the visibility? In my original experiments, I use the
style:
```
//--- std.cppm
module;
#include <algorithm>
...
export module std;
export namespace std {
using std::sort;
}
```
but this doesn't always work. For example, we can't `using` a in-class friend
definition. And there are more reasons, the unreachable declarations in the
global module fragment (the section from `module;` to `export module
[module_name]`) can be discarded to reduce the size of the module file. And the
reachable rules are complex. But the simple story is that it is highly possible
the a lot of necessary declarations in global module fragment in the above
snippet would be discarded so that the user can't use std modules correctly. I
mean, we **may** need a special feature flag for it. And the method with
`system headers` looks not good and semantics are not so consistency.
