+This is interesting, Benjamin reported to me on IRC that MS will not
+emit a warning if there is any attribute on the thing, even if it does
+not specify the external impl.

+Not really sure what should be done. On the one hand, I think that
+this should be an error -- when we emit the metadata it is invalid. I
+think that is cause for an error. otoh, we really should be compat.
