When I compile the HelloWorld.d demo code on version 3.4.1 in debug

am using DMD V2.072.2 on 64bit Debian testing.
As you are probably aware, GtkD auto-generates code. Unfortunately,
adding the ability to remove event handlers generated an increase in the
size of code, instead of just tracking the delegate directly it now uses
a wrapper class to also track the connect flags and returned handlerId.
Right now a unique wrapper class is generated for each event handler
which I suspect is the primary culprit for the increase in size.
If this size increase is a major concern, one option might be for me to
try to use a generic wrapper class instead of a generating a unique one.
This would mean converting the generated code to cast the delegate
before using it.
I'll let Mike chime in with his thoughts first though before looking too
much into it.
No, the size increase isn't a concern for me at all. It was just an
observation that I made using the new version, and I wasn't sure if it
was expected or not.
