This of course means that functions may wind up going through

Also our suggested approach would not have this downside.
Think about phobos. All of phobos and druntime will be littered
with export attributes. Do you really want all phobos and
druntime from within the same dll to go through dll
indirections? And what would happen when building phobos as
static library? With your suggested behavior (export=dllimport
if not specified otherwise) this would mean that even the
phobos static library would have those indirections.
This thread have reached some end.
It has been shown in the beginning that linkers know how to get
rid of the indirection here. If we are going to discuss the same
thing again and again without even doing some experiment for the
reality check, then we can stop right here.
