I have a template function that all it does is given a symbol,
it loads a dll for its type + its name:
```
void loadSymbol(alias s, string symName = "")()
{
static if(symName == "")
s = cast(typeof(s))_loadSymbol(_dll, (s.stringof~"\0").ptr);
else
s = cast(typeof(s))_loadSymbol(_dll, (symName~"\0").ptr);
}

If symName is always a string literal, then you don't need to
append a "\0"; string literals always have a trailing NUL after
them, and they autoconvert to const(char)[] so you don't need
the .ptr either.
Playing around with this, with a mock-up of your code, doesn't
change object size at all.
Is the actual source available, that you're seeing this with?
