"Carbon.h is a monster: it transitively includes 558 files, 12.3M of
code, declares 10000 functions, has 2000 struct definitions, 8000
fields, 20000 enum constants, etc (see slide 25+ of the [1]clang talk for
more information). It is also #include'd into almost every C file in a
GUI app on the Mac, so its compile time is very important."
