As opposed to the object files and the final executable. Like, I don't see how it could possibly be the case that if two / three / four / e.t.c units all use Generics.Collections, and each one contains an instance of something like: var IntList: TList<LongInt> that this means the resulting binary contains two / three / four / e.t.c separate complete instantiations of TList for LongInt. You'd wind up with executables in the literal hundreds-of-megabytes range if that were so, even with optimizations / symbol stripping and so on activated.
