+</pre>
+
+A rule to link with `-force_load` for direct`deps`
+
+ld has different behavior when loading members of a static library VS objects
+as far as visibility. Under `-dynamic`
+- linked _swift object files_ can have public visibility
+- symbols from _swift static libraries_ are omitted unless used, and not
+visible otherwise
+
+By using `-force_load`, we can load static libraries in the attributes of an
+application's direct depenencies. These args need go at the _front_ of the
+linker invocation otherwise these arguments don't work with lds logic.
+
+Why not put it into `rules_apple`? Ideally it could be, and perhaps consider a
+PR to there .The underlying java rule, `AppleBinary.linkMultiArchBinary`
+places `extraLinkopts` at the end of the linker invocation. At the time of
+writing these args need to go into the current rule context where
+`AppleBinary.linkMultiArchBinary` is called.
+
+One use case of this is that iOS developers want to load above mentioned
+symbols from applications. Another alternate could be to create an aspect,
+that actually generates a different application and linker invocation instead
+of force loading symbols. This could be more complicated from an integration
+perspective so it isn't used.
