I doubt someone will complain, about splitting object module into 
smaller packages based on performance reasons, and certainly 
splitting object.d won't trigger tens of files now. Though as 
said before it will increase readability. I personally can live 
with few more miliseconds for compilation time if readability is 
increased in druntime/phobos.
