Hmm. I guess I'm confused by the contradiction of setting "DefineVTable = false" and then "ensure ... is accessible from the vtable".

The problem seems to be that some parts of the code tries to suppress vtable emission, while a different part emits it.

Would it work if we don't do the `DefineVTable = false` part, i.e. just changed the the `if (IsExplicitInstantiationDeclaration)` to something like `if (IsExplicitInstantiationDeclaration && !HasExcludeFromExplicitInstantiationAttr)`?
