Let me clarify something here, it provides mechanism without policy, so 
yes, it requires something to give the policy.  That is a build system. 
What we're discussing here is a build system -- how things get built. 
#includes and their include path are a build system in that respect.

What the mapper does is decouple the compiler from whatever that build 
system is.  (Unlike #include paths, which are baked into compilers.)
