This would certainly be a useful feature to have when porting, and

Like -profile. And add a switch to enable it in the front-end if
possible. Then DMD (and potentially the other compilers) will have the
feature in case anyone finds it useful and we can move on. Call it
-minimal.
I have a feeling we've already spent more time talking about this than
Walter would have spent implementing it anyway, so it's already taking
time away from other things. Let's just give it a nod and move on.
I convinced Walter of my view on this, so he won't work on it. I trust
that at least between the two of us we can focus on working on what
matters most first.
Anyone else wish to take this up? I think pull requests would be welcome.
