Obviously, if by 'language X' you mean 'any non-compiled
language with

I believe (and have posted it over 100 times in NG already :P) D
absolutely needs either way to force internal linkage or good LTO

can do to eliminate code duplication other than templates / CTFE
- and it bloats resulting executables damn lot, something that
was very controllable in C.
