Re: Interest for C++20 modules support of boost officially

Hi all,

As you may know, I wrote a prototype to enable consuming Boost as
C++20 modules (i.e. import boost.xyz) some weeks ago. After some
rounds of helpful feedback from maintainers (specially from Peter
Dimov), we've decided to temporarily halt the work until the module
ecosystem becomes more stable. I plan to revisit this prototype once
CMake's support for "import std" becomes stable, and MSVC fixes the
bugs I reported.

I've summarized all my findings and design decisions in this (updated)
article: https://anarthal.github.io/cppblog/modules3

Many thanks,
Ruben.
