How would you use a library you don't even have the interface to? I
mean if you can't even look at the API in your editor.. that'd be
insane.
Exactly. And while we're at it, *really* strip unnecessary stuff from
.di files, like function bodies, template bodies, etc.. That stuff is
required by the compiler, not the user, so stick that in the object
files and let the compiler deal with it. The .di file should be ONLY
what's needed for the user to understand how to use the library.

I've written code to do this, but apparently it breaks Phobos in the
autotester. I can't get it to break Phobos on my local machine so I'm at a
loss as how to fix it. Maybe you can help? The code is here:
