There are more trains. And there's apparently still time for the C++23
train. This is something that would be entirely possible to propose now as
an improvement for adoptability of modules. Who wants to write a proposal?

Actually, we don't even need a train. Implementations could do that now
without any ill effects (and even backported). And use it as implementation
experience. What do you think Chuanqi of implementing that in clang?
