Just to flesh out how C++ modules impact this.

Modules break the assumption that there must be a declaration in a header file for a symbol to be used in another file, the module is exported from a body file and the declarations from the modules are imported by an import statement, no header needed as the compiler does the work.

So if we set the filescope/local/whatever flag for .cpp files that will make the symbols exported with the module invisible elsewhere, but they should be visible.

Its not just an academic C++ exercise, since this is basically how modules work in most languages if we can solve it for C++ we can extend the heuristic to other languages too.
