Not really.  Indeed, it's not actually necessary to compile import
libraries at all, unless you are using heavy macros and need the
additional efficiency at compile time.

It is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that so it was
laid down in the time of Henry IV. It is still more revolting if the grounds
upon which it was laid down have vanished long since, and the rule simply
persists from blind imitation of the past. --Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
