Assuming that other don't understand the issue is not going to 
help. The issue is pretty clear and simple.

Emitting template symbols clearly slow down the compilation 
process and increase the size of object files. That is a given. 
But that allow for separate compilation.

Note that separate compilation is the only path that make sense 
considering that the GC do not work.
