For my 0.02GBP, I had previously suggested =
=E2=80=9C-fc++-module-file[name=3D]=E2=80=9C

In review, that  was felt to be possibly unwieldy if there was a default =
(e.g. that the
module BMI takes the basename and appends .gcm/pcm), but I will offer =
the suggestion
a second time ;)

I think it is reasonable to include c++ in the spelling, since other =
languages supported by
GCC (and clang in due course) have modules.
