Agreed. This is an interesting idea, and seems promising, but this is
the wrong form. You'd think this would be a policy. I'll try to work up
an example of this.
And the idea of an ABI-different container with a compile flag and no
linkage difference is not the kind of thing that should be encouraged,
ever.
