Kaz, thanks for responding and sharing your thoughts / perspective. I also came 
across this paper which I thought I would share:

Absract

When building C++ source code, build tools need to discover dependencies of 
source files based on their contents. This occurs during the build so that file 
contents can change without build tools having to reinitialize and so the 
dependencies of source file generated during the build are correct. With the 
advent of modules in [P1103R3], there are now ordering requirements among 
compilation rules. These also need to be discovered during the build. This 
paper specifies a format for communicating this information to build tools.
