That is the goal. .36 allows static const variables outside of functions, and does not duplicate them when they are inside of functions. -O2 helps a little bit. I am just starting on not inlining function calls. Once that is working we can see if there is noticeable size decrease. I expect that to be the case, but you never know until you try.
