The previous code was too clever in trying to avoid work and missed
the fact that ClassDecl::getSuperclass produces an interface type but
the types in the inheritance clause are contextual types.
This actually successfully built:
- in non-WMO builds with a public subclass and an internal base class,
because the internal class symbol wouldn't get stripped out.
- in WMO builds with an internal subclass and a private base class,
because 'private' has no distinction at the linkage level for a WMO
build.
However, it's highly likely that trying to import a library containing
such types would result in instability (read: compiler and debugger
crashes), and it's clearly a mistake to allow this. (If you can't show
your superclass to a user in a library's generated interface,
something's definitely gone wrong.)
