OK, granted. I complain that build reproduceability is a specific requirement for a particular audience of users; other users may need just the opposite and IMVHO I think have the same right to claim it. This is of course a dead end discussion we won't have here. We will implement this as a cpp plugin, so feel free to close the issue.
