Specifically, when I put some code in a separately compiled
lib, does that save me anything in terms of files that have to
be analyzed or will dmd always go through every file that can
be reached through includes ? (.di files are out of question,
because they have issues)

I thought so and wonder how that will scale with large code bases. Lately I found so many bugs and shortcomings that the ice is growing thin. There's bugs with .di files, with separate compilation, with SIMD, static dtors inside templates... and no the uncertainty how D projects will scale if the module with main imports the world. It makes me want to switch to C++. :p I hope Walter's idea of full lazy evaluation can help here. -- Marco
