How does this differ from e.g, if the function was templated?
It doesn't, if you decide to analyze each imported function to
perform
attribute inference, then that's just like treating all of them
like
template instances.
This approach doesn't scale to bigger projects, because the
compiler
always has to analyze the complete source code.
That's also the reason why an optimization was added to dmd
whereby it
doesn't instantiate templates, that are already instantiated in
an
imported module.
I thought as much, that's unsettling because dmd is already
starting to feel dog slow.
