Would Lcl be better if it was in D?

So I was using the Lazarus IDE the other day, and i thought to
myself, what if i create an application with only a button in it.
well it was easy enough to do. but behold I saw the executable
and it was 14 MB, and I said 'well damn.' It seems to me that
pascal does not do lazy inclusion when it comes to components of
Lcl apart from pre-compiler directives.
I noticed some includes in d are inside of functions.
void foo() {
import thingIneed:subfoo;
subfoo();
}
would this allow people to use a large library like LCL but with
much smaller executables?
