Excuse me? Unless templates are something different in D (I can't be 100% sure since I am new D), it should be the case. At least in C++, that would be the case. As I said, for libraries you need to compile every commonly used instance, so that user will not be burdened with this overhead.

It depends. For instance, if you work with files, write on the console output, use system functions, use Win32 api, DFL, there can be overhead.
