I don't think we want to change the existing visibility behavior of non-direct 
objc methods. Is there a use reason or use case for making them visible outside 
the linkage unit?

I think direct methods shouldn't be hidden by default (i.e., they should get 
the default visibility). But it's not clear to me whether we should make that 
change right away as I've heard concerns from people internally. I think I need 
more time to understand what exactly their concerns are.

I wasn't sure why it wasn't possible to use the existing 
`__attribute__((visibility("default")))` attribute. Is it not possible to make 
only the direct methods get the default visibility?
