I have the same concern about terminology ending up being more confusing than 
helpful. Personally, I've gotten used to the "pc" in pcm or pch meaning 
precompiled. 
What do you think about the following guidelines? 

1. If there's a useful distinction, or the code path naturally expects one, 
keep distinguishing "module file" vs "precompiled header/PCH". 
2. If there's not, just use "file" and enforce that there is always a file path 
attached. For example, in this PR, the desired output is `note: please rebuild 
file '/foo/bar.pcm'`
