You can compile against phobos sources instead of interface
files.
This cannot be the solution if D aspires to be used in contexts
where binary libraries are used.
C++ is excused to have template code in headers given the
primitive tooling, but languages like Ada and Modula-3 support
proper information hiding for generic code.

A binary blob requirement makes no sense for a standard library.
Would you like to explain how the proper information hiding
support works for generic code in Ada? I'm really curious how
that could work in D.
