If you depend heavily on templates/conditional compilation, you'd be forced 
to release the source, and that makes sense. But what if I have a old-school 
lib with no need for templates?

OT: I'm really afraid that D's dropping old-school, and going all fancy with 
meta-programming'n'shit. Frankly, I don't want to write meta-code that will 
then generate code for the compiler to compile... Templates are nice, but 
everything should also be possible without them...
