LOL - I didn't see any proposals which looked like this to me.

So it seems that you would just separate the headers into "families" core
and full
and the dependency tool would just follow core?  I didn't see that mentioned
but I'm guessing that's what you're suggestion.

I don't see any connection with my suggestion not that it matters.

I think that this problem only effects a few libraries.  The serialization 
library is the most obvious case but there may be a couple more.
Naturally I prefer my idea above as it would relieve me of modifying
dozens of files.  Also, by including the "bridge" in the archive code
it self, I can detect that the forwarding headers are actually identical
to the implementation headers.
