Seems a little surprising if Xcode does proper dependency tracking for each file in this case, even though they are in not mentioned in the project individually. Is there a way to confirm that it does?

Indeed. Can you post radar numbers (without other details) of what will let us make it more elegant in the future?

What will WebKit engineers need to know about this approach when adding or removing WTF headers?

I wonder if flattening the hierarchy would be a better solution for now. That would require webkit-dev discussion if proposed, I think.

Nothing in WTF is public API, is it OK for these headers to have the Public attribute?
