I'd prefer to do `@property`s in a separate commit, but I suppose you are 
thinking like a `objc_direct_members_visible` attribute? I think I can add that 
in a subsequent commit. 

I took a look at how to make things inherit and I think the most 
straightforward way is to have `handleObjCDirectVisibleAttr` set the 
objc_direct attribute if it is not set already.

As for `__attribute__((visibility("default")))` I think the trouble lies in 
what we want the default visibility behavior for objc methods to be and if we 
want the behavior to be controlled by `-fvisibility=`. I tried going by 
attribute visibility before and had some trouble too (I forget exactly what 
though).

+    // Drop '\1' to work with dlsym.
+    std::string Name = Fn->getName().str().substr(1);
+
+    assert(Name[0] == '-' || Name[0] == '+');
+    assert(Name[1] == '[' && Name[Name.length() - 1] == ']');

I like this idea. I will look into doing it next.
