I agree (although not generating .di files does not fix all the problems  
of inlining and ctfe -- there are many stubbed functions even in the .d  
files).

In my opinion, .di generation should by default generate fully-stripped  
code except for templates.  If you want functions to be CTFE-able, don't  
use auto-generated .di files to import them.
