+``clang-cl`` supports the same options as ``clang++`` for modules as detailed above;
+there is no need to prefix these options with ``/clang:``. Note that ``cl.exe``

+The resultant precompiled modules are also not compatible for use with ``cl.exe``.

+We recommend that build system authors use the above-mentioned ``clang++`` options with ``clang-cl`` to build modules.
