Apple has a long-standing plan to contribute this back, but there are several things in the way; mainly that it is a large ugly hack.

If it's anything like the way the old Lucid C++ compiler did it, it'll be just coredumping the preprocessor's state. We always found that it wasn't worthwhile unless you were dealing with something like OI's 1.something megabytes of headers...
