This function:
http://dlang.org/phobos/object.html#.Object.factory
enables a program to instantiate any class defined in the program. To
make it work, though, every class in the program has to have a TypeInfo
generated for it. This leads to bloat:

and sometimes the bloat can be overwhelming.
The solution seems straightforward - only have Object.factory be able to
instantiate classes marked as 'export'. This only makes sense anyway.
If we're actually going to talk about solution then it seems better to
have a flag that disables Object.factory. It won't break any code and
everyone that doesn't like can disable it. Everybody wins.
