Why would this be such a big deal? As I understand it some of
this comes from D couldn't compile to libraries (if that's
different now I am not sure, haven't kept up with all the
updates) so everything in phobos is distributed as source.
Theoretically D can compile Shared Libraries now. Which means
that DI files are going to be more useful than ever.
If we can't compile to a callable library (static or dynamic)
for a while and can't use CTFE on non-source, then the problem
is more explicitly present and either needs a workaround or
some type of convention.
CTFE cannot currently call a function without it's source.
Currently? If it can later the problem goes away...
