Indeed, that's another issue I just discovered and it's a problem too for
me. I was looking for a solution for header-only libraries
so that I can see them in my solution (and other convenience). Without
being exposed in Visual Studio, interface
targets are not very useful (except for configuration composition I guess).
Looks like there is not many good solutions for header-only libraries to be
visible in the VS solution.
