In the context of a clang-tidy check, what would be gained by verifying changes made to multiple headers that isn't already tested by verifying changes made to a single header?

At least two of the checks I've already added have complaints that they don't work on headers.

While this change was waiting to be reviewed, another check was added that made changes to headers but had no way to verify them.
