Aren't we supposed to release a stable 1.0 this year? "Stable" as in
"client code should keep working with later releases without changes"?
Ok, we can postpone joining the headers until we're close to freeze.
But after that, I would value more grouping related classes to make
their relationship clear, or making immediately clear to a user looking
at schedule.hpp that a MakeSchedule class is available. After all, the
recompilation problem affects only a handful of users---you, me, and a
few others that work on the repository; most users just build the
released library once.
