I presume they will add a very easy way (like a compilation switch? No need to modify druntime, or to recompile DMD, or to write your own GC) to switch back to less precise regime, or generally to avoid paying for things you don't want to pay. LDC compiler has pragmas to avoid specific typeinfos and moduleinfos, but it is a non portable thing and it's kind of low level.
