    I was more worried that it's getting included from other include files,
    and that the overhead is just the compiler front-end, whether used or not.

    But you're right, it seems like this is one of the well-behaved header
    files that isn't unnecessarily included everywhere ;)

    So I have no real arguments in that case.
