So use .h unless you want to maintain consistency with existing
projects... I don't know such as the Standard C++ headers or
OpenSceneGraph headers....

For the OpenSceneGraph, the VulkanSceneGraph I aspire to be a Stardard
C++ library for real-time graphics.

Really the answer is pretty simple, Visual Studio clearly isn't up to
the job... the fact that MS haven't yet fixed this in over two decades
doesn't validate that it's not broken.  MS over the years has tried
hard to make C++ a pain in the butt to use under Windows.  I can't fix
what MS choose to do, but also have no desire for bugs in 3rd party
tools to dictate decisions on code I personally write, I want code
that aspires to something more than lowest common denominators.
