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...
There are no plans to do this at all any point in the future so waiting
for it would be fruitless.
