           Summary: DMD generates two identical version of templated
                    functions

           Version: D2
          Platform: All

            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD

Lets look at that simple code.

void foo(int line = __LINE__)() {
    debug
        writeln(`hello, world `, line);
    else
        writeln(`hello, world`);
}

void main() {
foo();
foo();
}

So we have in the binary two identical versions of code if we compile it with -release -O -inline.

If the function is big and have been called from many places, then size of binary can increases extremely.

I think it's need to improve frontend a little: check if template parametes not used across the function and then drops it.
