Research direction

Start by reading the CMake configuration that defines the beman::execution and beman::execution_headers targets, comparing the BEMAN_USE_MODULES ON and OFF paths. Make beman::execution available in both modes with the stated equivalent behavior, then verify that consumers can link the same target under either configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, the CMake target beman::execution is only defined when BEMAN_USE_MODULES is ON. This creates an inconvenience when consuming the library, because one needs to link to beman::execution when BEMAN_USE_MODULES is ON, and to beman::execution_headers otherwise. This shouldn't be the case; the main beman::execution target should always be defined, and should do the right thing in either mode. (That is, it should be equivalent to beman::execution_headers when BEMAN_USE_MODULES is OFF.)
