-The term ``modules`` has a lot of meanings. For the users of Clang, modules may
-refer to ``Objective-C Modules``, ``Clang C++ Modules`` (or ``Clang Header Modules``,
-etc.) or ``Standard C++ Modules``. The implementation of all these kinds of modules in Clang
-has a lot of shared code, but from the perspective of users, their semantics and
-command line interfaces are very different. This document focuses on
-an introduction of how to use standard C++ modules in Clang.
-
-There is already a detailed document about `Clang modules <Modules.html>`_, it
-should be helpful to read `Clang modules <Modules.html>`_ if you want to know
-more about the general idea of modules. Since standard C++ modules have different semantics
-(and work flows) from `Clang modules`, this page describes the background and use of
-Clang with standard C++ modules.

-Modules exist in two forms in the C++ Language Specification. They can refer to
-either "Named Modules" or to "Header Units". This document covers both forms.

-This document was intended to be a manual first and foremost, however, we consider it helpful to

 Background and terminology

-Modules
-~~~~~~~

-In this document, the term ``Modules``/``modules`` refers to standard C++ modules
-feature if it is not decorated by ``Clang``.

-Clang Modules

-In this document, the term ``Clang Modules``/``Clang modules`` refer to Clang
-c++ modules extension. These are also known as ``Clang header modules``,
-``Clang module map modules`` or ``Clang c++ modules``.

 Module and module unit
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-A module consists of one or more module units. A module unit is a special
-translation unit. Every module unit must have a module declaration. The syntax
-of the module declaration is:

+of translation unit. Every module unit must have a module declaration. The
+syntax of the module declaration is:
 
 .. code-block:: c++
 
   [export] module module_name[:partition_name];
 
-Terms enclosed in ``[]`` are optional. The syntax of ``module_name`` and ``partition_name``
-in regex form corresponds to ``[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9\.]*``. In particular, a literal dot ``.``
-in the name has no semantic meaning (e.g. implying a hierarchy).
-
-In this document, module units are classified into:
-
-* Primary module interface unit.
-
-* Module implementation unit.
+Terms enclosed in ``[]`` are optional. ``module_name`` and ``partition_name``
+are typical C++ identifiers, except that they may contain a period (``.``).
