Should binary sharing be done using Mixin Template?

[Matthew Ong]

Hi D Developer/Walter Bright,

Coming from a VM environment.

Should D be able to do binary sharing when the same template is being 
used for different data type.

In java using template, the same LinkedList binary is shared for both 
String class type and also Integer class type.

LinkedList<String> list=new LinkedList<String>();
LinkedList<Integer> list=new LinkedList<Integer>();

// Can also apply for Account/Order/PO...
LinkedList<Account> list=new LinkedList<Account>();

But there is a single LinkedList Class File(single binary).

Perhaps that is possible via some sort of binary plumbing internal to 
the compiler? I believe the wrapper is just to ensure the Object type 
handling casting concern. I might be wrong.

Accoding to Jonathan Davis,

 >There is no linking involved in mixins. It's not shared.

This approach I believe allow the final output be smaller even and 
pushes the D to be closer even to the dynamic ability of VM but without 
the extra over head.

Can someone really say why this is a bad bad idea for memory with some 
automated plumbing being done like in ActiveX/Com/DCOM.
