I pulled this, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it.

There's thousands of lines of changes because of the header-test-y
thing, and I'm honestly considering just getting rid of that thing
entirely.

It has no actual upside that I can tell, and it's extremely annoying.
It pollutes the tree with hundreds of *.h.s files, which messes up
filename completion, and just generally is ugly and annoying.

So I've unpulled for now, and I'm not sure I want to pull more noise
for this mis-feature.
