Is there a better way we should be doing this? I'm wondering if
voldemort types are really worth it. They offer a lot of 
convenience,
and are much DRYer than separate private template types. But 
the bloat
cost is not really worth the convenience IMO.

I modified all my voldemort-returning functions to return 
module-level types.

One of my example programs (compiled optimized/inline) went 
from 10MB to 1MB. The other example program went from 2.1MB to 
900k.

Just to be sure, you replaced something like this:

auto myFunc(int x){
   struct MyStruct{ int a; }
   return MyStruct(x);
}

with?

private struct MyStruct{ int a; }
auto myFunc(int x){
    return MyStruct(x);
}
