There is another way.
D can be made aware that it is building an executable (after
all, that is why it invokes the linker). If you shove all the
source code into the compiler in one command, for an
executable, functions that are not overridden can be made final.
It has been discussed several times - no, they can't unless
export is strict. One can create a shared library that inherits a
class from main executable and get reference to it in main
executable via reference to a known class (base).
