The advantage of this is that it speeds up the compilation (I've measured between 6-15x speed improvement depending on the code in question locally.)
Another advantage would be that for mostly self-contained modules we could get most of the benefits of LTO without having to recur to LTO as the compiler would have visibility over all the sources as a single compilation-unit.
In turn this would also allow us to remove a lot of inline methods that we only have in the headers for performance reasons. As it was pointed out in the "Analyze C++/compiler usage and code stats easily" this could bring significant compilation time improvements too.
