I'm not sure I follow - how would that be possible? building the object from 
the PCH is done independently of any usage, so it can't depend on the way the 
PCH is used by any TU that includes it, I think?

Hmm, yeah, seems it's not context-sensitive (actually Hans says on the original 
review it is context sensitive - but in the reverse: it ensures that 
/unreferenced/ dllexported functions are exported), but it is dllexport 
sensitive. So that's probably enough to not make this generalizable - seems I 
did ask these questions back when the feature was reviewed: 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D48426 & I'd forgotten. Sorry about that. Seems 
there's not much/nothing to do here - the two features are similar, but 
sufficiently different. ( @hans in case he's got any thoughts here)
