IMO, the best way forward is:

scheme that Steve suggested
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/nhkmo7$ob5$1...@digitalmars.com)
+ After that, during symbol generation (mangling) if a symbol
starts getting larger than some threshold (e.g. 800
characters), the mangling algorithm should detect that and bail
out by generating some unique id instead. The only valuable
information that the symbol must include is the module name and
location (line and column number) of the template instantiation.
Location info shouldn't be used. This will break things like
interface files and dynamic libraries.
