[cfe-dev] Explicit instantiation declarations/definitions and optimizations

[David Blaikie via cfe-dev]

I was just thinking through the possible advice of encouraging users to use
explicit template instantiation declarations/definitions to reduce object
size.

It seems this may hurt performance in non-LTO builds by causing what were
inlinable functions to no longer be available for inlining.

Should we consider emitting available_externally definitions of such
entities (possibly under specific/higher optimization levels)?
