Sorry, got sidetracked into dealing with other stuff.

There is no reference documentation per se but the manual is essentially
split into the Introduction (which is tutorial-level) with the rest being
more reference-like (i.e., complete documentation but still with examples,
etc).

Yes, you are probably right. In any case, I went ahead and documented
it in the `cc` module's chapter:
https://build2.org/stage/build2/doc/build2-build-system-manual.xhtml#cc-import-installed
I think I've captured everything we've discussed (plus quite a bit more)
but let me know if anything is missing or unclear.
