      if a user tries to add idl to a SConscript env.Library, they will get confusing error messages like:
      ld.lld: error: src/mongo/db/query/query_settings/query_settings.idl:29: unknown directive: global:
      >>> global:
      >>> ^

      We could instead hardfail early with a better error message
