(Which espcially in std.traits, would not make that much of a

Also the established technique of serializing precompiled AST
(after semantic3) of modules to a cache should be applicable as
well.

Were any other means considered? This is proposing to add plenty
of additional annotations only to speed up compilation, but none
of the classical tools for pre-compilation were assessed.
Since D's modules don't have the header problem, even
pre-compilation and reuse of semantic3 should be possible, or not?
