Yup. In theory, any immutable Foo declared at module scope (and likely
also those at static class/struct scope) could be elided by the linker
if it not used anywhere, but Optlink does not do that.

That means of course, that pointer manipulation to get from one manifest
constant to another declared right after is not supported (nor should it
be *shudder*).
