+/* We have a special case in libpbd of a template class that gets instantiated
+ * as the base class of several classes in other libraries. It is not possible
+ * to use LIBFOO_API to mark this visible, because the FOO in each case is
+ * different. So we define this generic visible/export/hidden/import pair
+ * of macros to try to deal with this special case. These should NEVER be
+ * used anywhere except AbstractUI<T> (or similar cases if they arise.
+ *
+ * Note the assumption here that other libs are being built as DLLs if this one is.
