As provided, loadSymbol without the "static if":

with `mixin(loadSymbol("name"))` instead of a template:

The difference goes down to 66K vs. 60K with `dub -brelease
--compiler=gdc`. ldc's not as slim but still much better than
dmd, and -brelease is actually much less significant. So dmd's
the main culprit for the bloat here. huh.
But since you have importPaths-ldc perhaps you weren't using
dmd to begin with.
Yup. The mixin(loadSymbol("")) seems the best way to do.
I believe that should be the option for loading separated symbols
while loadSymbols version is the best for loading a lot of
symbols(IDK how expensive is mixing a lot of functions) as it
costs 1KB per instantiation.
I'm actually using DMD and LDC, dmd compiles a bit faster, but I
use ldc for deploying it. Never used GDC.
