In my code I have a line like this:

static immutable MyStruct[] data = [ MyTemplate!MyArgs ];

This would not work if `MyStruct.sizeof * 
MyTemplate!MyArgs.length` is bigger than 16MB, right? And for 
this case there's no workaround, I think...

I will not reach that size, but I agree with the others that this 
should be a linker limitation, not a language one, so that I can 
change linker and have it work.
