For the interested reader, there is an entire book written on the topic of Pimpl (before it was called Pimpl):
John Lakos's _Large Scale C++ Software Design_ (1995).

Oh really! Read Lakos's book then. All 852 pages of it effectively say: C++ is almost an unmitigated disaster in controlling physical dependencies unless you walk the very narrow path that he lays out. 852 pages. Eight hundred fifty-two. When a language has a problem that needs 852 pages to explain and straighten out, methinks it actually might have an actual problem (or whole tangled nest of problems) in that vicinity.
By comparison, in Ada's entire history spanning 5 decades, no one needed to write an analogous 852-page tome on that topic.
