Now I wonder how will runtime template instantiation work.
Either they are using the existing solution done by NGEN/JIT, C++
style for value types and erasure for reference types, or the
full C++ way.
The compiler also uses heuristics for reflection, failing that
you can list which classes are the target of runtime reflection,
so that their metadata isn't thrown away.
