I have yet to look at any of these entries but I went ahead and 
built phobos with Johannes' -vgc and put the output into a 
spreadsheet.

I'm not exactly sure if this catches templates or not.  This 
wasn't a unittest build, just building phobos.  I did try to 
build the unittests with -vgc but it runs out of memory trying to 
build std/algorithm.d.  There is substantially more -vgc output 
when building the unit tests though.

Obviously a lot of these aren't going anywhere but there's 
probably some interesting things to be found wading through this.
