This function:
http://dlang.org/phobos/object.html#.Object.factory
enables a program to instantiate any class defined in the program. To make it
work, though, every class in the program has to have a TypeInfo generated for
it. This leads to bloat:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14758
and sometimes the bloat can be overwhelming.
The solution seems straightforward - only have Object.factory be able to
instantiate classes marked as 'export'. This only makes sense anyway.
What do you think?
