I don't really get this. I am not talking about omitting regular functions
which are only used during CTFE in a module, because obviously the function
might be of use at runtime from within another module. But why do we put a
template instantiation in a.obj that never really got instantiated? If b.d uses
it, it should go to b.obj just as if a.d would not have used it at all.

I don't get why the use in CTFE triggers template instantiations.
