The other thing is, we just don't have a need for our own linker for any

If we have our own linker for every supported platform and format I
pretty sure that we can take advantage of that and come up with features
not possible using other linkers.
Yes, along with storing meta-data such as pure, nothrow etc. Mangling
does it but in a such a backward way...
But it would always have to maintain backwards compatibility or simple
conversion to this format.
For example, storing .di files directly in the object file. This has
also been suggested before.
