Space in the object file is not important, space in the executable is. It's the
linker's job to remove unreferenced functions (dmd places each function in its
own section for that and other reasons). If the linker falls down on that job,
an alternative is to use dmd to generate a library, where it will generate one
object in the library per function. Then, the linker will only pull objects out
of the library that are actually referenced.
Forgot to mention, you could also use string mixins.
