I see what you're doing there, but your last point is wishful
thinking. Dynamically linked binaries can share megabytes of
code. Even Phobos - although heavily templated - has proven to
be very amenable to sharing. For example, a "Hello world!"
program using `writeln()` has these sizes when compiled with
`dmd -O -release -inline`:
static Phobos2 : 806968 bytes
dynamic Phobos2 : 18552 bytes
That's about 770 KiB to share or 97.7% of its total size!
Awesome!
Is all of that active code, or is some of that (statically
knowable) never getting executed (as in could've been removed at
compile/link time)?
