I don't want to give the impression that object libraries can be linked
by allowing them in tll.  The semantics are hard to define because the
usual transitive effects do not make sense.  Since using them in tll is
an error now we can always add it later.  Since object libraries cannot
be installed or exported usage requirements on them are less important.
