We've already talked this over with fishd and we're not actually changing anything in the API.  It's probably safe to land without round-tripping with him.

You just want to say "raise" without the "e"

Copying the headers is OK, but forwarding headers are better.  Sometimes people edit the wrong file by accident when there's a copy.

I disagree - forwarding headers run into all sorts of gross issues with relative paths and I really doubt anyone is going to accidentally edit a copy in out/Release/gen/webcore_headers/ instead of the real one.

People who use an IDE just right click on an include an open it.  It's easy to accidentally edit the wrong copy.  It's also not obvious where copies come from.

Here's a previous discussion where it confused people (which is when I switched the third_party webkit headers to use forwarding headers from a copy):

That's a little different, in that case both copies were in the source directories. In this case the copy is in the SHARED_INTERMEDIATE_DIR. We should just teach IDEs not to open files in the output directory, if we haven't already.

I don't think anyone is using the xcode UI any more (at least not if they've upgraded to 4.X).

How do we teach IDEs not to open files in the output directory?

The same happens in MSVS.  If you open a header, it only has the filename, not the full path in the tab.  It's easy to edit the wrong file.
