Under some conditions (I never figured out the details) you end up
being forced to do that anyway. However in heavy code you can
literally get MB of meta data generated for struct that are never
actually used for anything.
These should be stripped by linked, shoudn't they? That's a separate
issue if linker doesn't do it properly.
That would help some, but they cause problems both that the link level (extra
IO) and the the compile time level (I have seen dmd spend *minutes* generating
the meta data.
