My understanding is that there doesn't seem any specific value in continuing to require that COMPILER_PUBLIC_API be set - we can just assume that it's always set

  1. It really gets in the way of coding and designing the public surface area of FCS

  2. We want to move to eventually - one day - have the VIsual F# Tools use FSharp.Compiler.Service.dll.

  3. Currently we build FSharp.Compiler.Private.dll where COMPILER_PUBLIC_API is not set. But it turns out this DLL has always had a good number of public types, see below. So we may as well just align now and keep our life simple.

image. There is no harm in these public types as long as the DLL is private in the F# SDK directory (and has Private in the name).
