For me, it's "stuff that's going to imported with #include" but which isn't 
a header file.

For example if I have a unit test with a large amount of data embedded in 
the file, I put the data in an .ipp file so that the test program contains 
just readable code, and the (mostly unreadable) data is separated out.  But 
there are plenty of other uses.
