Being in your object file doesn't mean they make it into the binary.
Optlink, for example, will remove unreferenced COMDATs.
The problem is how to prevent the moduleinfo from getting linked in.
Though this is a general problem, not specific to CTFE.
One thing I have been considering is, if a template is only ever
instantiated in CTFE (eg in a static if, or while defining an enum
value), should it still get written into the obj file? I don't think it
is ever necessary, and discarding it would save a lot of space and time.
