Description
Common fields such as:
- Modules/Private modules/etc.
- C sources
- C++ sources
- Jsoo sources
Should all be predicate lang valued. This will allow us to override defaults such as the extension for c++ sources and prevent us from having to list all c sources.

Research direction
Start by locating the definitions of the Modules, Private modules, C sources, C++ sources, and Jsoo sources fields, then read the existing predicate-language handling. Done means these common fields accept predicate-language values, allow defaults such as the C++ extension to be overridden, and avoid listing every C source.
