I don't understand that sentiment. (You're also mistaken in that only syntactic
correctness can be tested in an uninstantiated template, not semantic correctness.)
It means you're willing to ship code that is syntactically correct, but is not
necessarily semantically correct and is completely untested at runtime.
This is not a best practice at all.
Also, dmd's -cov coverage testing will check for you what parts of templates
were instantiated and what parts never were.
