Files need to reference other files eg. for calling functions from other modules, which means semantic analysis needs both files in memory to check the types. This is especially complicated with mutual recursion across modules (separate compilation doesn't apply here). If you're building a language like C where everything requires forward declarations, then maybe, but anything more modern seems difficult.

I've started also dropping `thiserror` when building libraries, as I don't want upstream users of my libraries to incur this additional dependency, but it's a pain.
