In what bizarro world do C++ namespaces qualify as modules?
There are rumors that Apple's clang developers are working on something in that direction, but until that vaporware is done and standardized, C++ programmers have to use the C preprocessor's automated text copy-and-paste mechanism in lieu of a proper module system.
Edited to add: an article and video about the clang C++ modules work-in-progress
