An alternative approach would be to do this optimization during optimization. However, this means it has to be reimplemented in dmd, LLVM, GCC separately. This is e.g. the case for pure-inference in C code.
LDC/LLVM does something very similar already (on the IR level), but obviously not across multiple compilation units, as the function body has to be available to the optimizer.
