>> Summary:
>> This patch has been a long time coming (Thanks @eugenis). It changes `_LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY` to use `__attribute__((internal_linkage))` instead of `__attribute__((visibility("hidden"), always_inline))`.
>> 
>> The point of `_LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY` is to prevent inline functions from being exported from both the libc++ library and from user libraries. This helps libc++ better manage it's ABI.
>> Previously this was done by forcing inlining and modifying the symbols visibility. However inlining isn't guaranteed and symbol visibility only affects shared libraries making this an imperfect solution.  `internal_linkage` improves this situation by making all symbols local to the TU they are emitted in, regardless of inlining or visibility. IIRC the effect of applying `__attribute__((internal_linkage))` to an inline function is the same as applying `static`.
