I am not sure how to fix it, but that's the gist of it. I think the
symbol table is so large because of the template proliferation of
dcollections, and the verbosity of D symbol names.
Why are D's symbols verbose? if I understood you corectly, dmd makes a
linear search no matter if i used foo or ArrayOutOfBoundsException
(that's a real Java exception).
A symbol includes the module name, and the mangled version of the function
argument types, which could be class/struct names, plus any template info
associated with it.
For example, foo(HashSet!int hs) inside the module testme becomes:
_D6testme3fooFC12dcollections7HashSet14__T7HashSetTiZ7HashSetZv
