When I put extra () to indicate that said functions are templates.
Then compiler gets its grip on them and finally inlines.
Otherwise it generates calls and links in object code from libphobos.

Which is the whole reason for the topic - is THAT is the way to go?
Shouldn't compiler look into source for inlinable stuff (when source is 
available)?

I'm using LLVM 3.3 and fresh git clone of LDC.
