Disabling TypeInfo requires quite a compromise on D's features. I want TypeInfo, I just don't want dead code. Mike
Thanks for this list. I think these need to be fixed (by replacing indirect-calls-based code with templates) regardless of where we go with TypeInfo. There's a fair amount of druntime code that suffers from being written before templates or in avoidance thereof. -- Andrei
