you want to provide a closed source library to be used by 3rd

You're missing another major use - encapsulation and isolation,
reducing the dependencies between parts of your system.
For such a case, bytecode is a superior solution as it would
allow CTFE.
Do you really want to be recompiling the garbage collector for
every module you compile? It's not because the gc is closed
source that .di files are useful.
