to me that pascal does not do lazy inclusion when it comes to
components of Lcl apart from pre-compiler directives.
I noticed some includes in d are inside of functions.
void foo() {
import thingIneed:subfoo;
subfoo();
}
would this allow people to use a large library like LCL but
with much smaller executables?
Sounds like you did a debug build.
