Yes, for me personally, it'd be mostly for grepping to find things.
Also, project plugins that let you open files (WorkspaceWhiz, etc.)
generally work from the list of files included in the solution, so it
becomes "hard" to open any of the include files by name otherwise.

Perhaps something like putting them in an 'includes' or 'headers'
project might make sense?
