Is there a way to "see" source code generated by templates after a compile?

This is not what you are looking for. This option makes dmd put 
seemingly unused code in the binary. It does not output 
human-readable template instantations. It was meant to help 
workaround linking errors at the time when the lazy template 
instantiation mechanism was not so robust as nowadays.
