                    included for every reference

Program:

import std.stdio;

const char[] str = "Hello!";

void main()
{
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
    writefln(str);
}

The compiled file contains the string "Hello!" 11 (evelen) times.

Doesn't happen with GDC.
