Previously, it could happen that regular symbols referenced
only as part of a template instance (e.g. a lambda passed as
an alias parameter) were not even emitted in the wrong module,
but not at all because mustDefineSymbol would return false to
them when being analyzed during codegen of the wrong module.
This issue might affect incremental compilation with DMD as
well, and the fix should be discussed with the upstream devs.
