what is the primary compilation unit [message #257562]

Many of the api methods in the ICompilationUnit mention "primary
compilation unit" what is the difference between a working copy and
"primary compilation unit". My understanding is that working copy is the
in memory representation of actual source file which can be modified and
then later saved to the actual file. Where does "primary compilation unit"
fits in this picture..
