I think it's reasonable to instrument druntime/phobos with

wouldn't be surprised if most don't), but at least they will
likely work for files less than 65k lines (quite a few) :)
Right, since for 32- and 64-bit code line_t is an alias for
size_t, nothing breaks.
I will review and approve such a request if you make it. You'd
likely need buy-in from Andrei.
That's nice. So maybe I should submit for the canonical druntime
first and ask for a merge on the LDC side?
BTW, if you want to help bikeshed the name for the 16-bit version
identifier name, there's still time...

D_P16? D_16? Something else?
