I propose that we add a command-line-paramter to the compiler (windows only) which actually enables dllexport. So all behavior described in the DIP will be enabled by default, but to actually make it mark symbols with dllexport you have to specifiy a additional command-line-parameter. We could call it "-dll" or something.
I don't think the issue is Windows specific, symbol visibility in the GNU toolchain is also bound to the declaration. I remember seeing public (visibility=default) symbols exported from static libraries on OSX.
