Is it possible, given just an XCFramework and not having access to the code or build system used to create said XCFramework, to determine if it was built with the `BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION` flag enabled?

Is the presence of a `.swiftinterface` file enough to confirm, or is there something else I can check for?
