templates don't exist in binaries.
Templates are like cookie molds, you use them to generate lots
of
(almost) identical cookies, but you never serve the mold to the
customer. ;-)

But what about the functions that exist in them?
e.g.,
template A()
{
void A()
{
B();
}
void B() { }
}
is everything in the template removed 100% or is there junk that
the compiler doesn't remove?
Oh... and I'm not talking about theoretical... I'm talking about
what dmd actually does.
