The D language shot itself in the foot by requiring templates

If DMD and LDC inline weak functions, that's their bug.
As I already mentioned in the bugzilla, it would be really useful
to see a practical example of DMD and LDC running into troubles
because of mishandling weak templates. I was never able to find
anything about "requiring templates to have weak semantics"
anywhere in the Dlang documentation or on the Internet. Asking
for clarification in this forum yielded no results either. Maybe
I'm missing something obvious when reading the
https://dlang.org/spec/template.html page?
I have no doubt that you have your own opinion about how this
stuff is supposed to work, but I have no crystal ball and don't
know what's happening in your head.
