This is a new feature in VS: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/filtered-solutions?view=vs-2019. MSBuild doesn't understand .slnf files so you can't build them at the command line, but I assume (without looking into it at all) that it would be possible to build a solution metaproject using a .slnf and its .sln and build it.

Yes please! We currently have several different solution files that we use for building different subsets of our code base in different CI/CD pipelines. It would be really nice to just have a single sln file with different .slnf definitions.

Did this feature actually land in 16.6?
I just installed VS 16.6 and started a build for an .slnf file and i got the following error:

error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
