So, -concretely- what happens to a class S (e.g. associated type info object
address, address of member functions, etc.) with external linkage,
defined in multiple translation units, with say hidden visibility?
If it has hidden visibility then shared objects other than the one with
the definition can't do much with it. They can use inline interfaces
and interfaces that are explicitly overridden to have default visibility.
Anything that relies on weak symbols to unify vague linkage entities
across shared objects will break. It would be nice to be able to warn
about such usage, but I can't think of a way to tell whether we're
currently in the defining object or not, and it's not a problem if it's
only used within the defining object.
