Correct. The property may get set but it is simply ignored.
For the tll() way of setting it I didn't explicitly exclude
STATIC libraries because I wanted to document the behavior
of that mode simply as setting the property.

Right. The tll() call specifies the "link implementation" which then
*becomes* the link interface when exported.
