Revert templates to old behavior.
While emitting a template instantiation only once is good for compile times
and binary sizes, it doesn't work with linkonce linkage as inlined function
bodies could be discarded. Since we don't want to inhibit inlining, templates
are reverted to the previous behavior, where an instantiation is emitted for
each module using it.
In the future, a custom inlining pass may allow us to switch back to
common/weak linkage and reenable smart template instance emission.

The D Programming Language Compiler Front End Source Copyright (c) 1999-2002, by Digital Mars www.digitalmars.com All Rights Reserved This is the source code to the front end Digital Mars D compiler. It covers the lexical analysis, parsing, and semantic analysis of the D Programming Language defined in the documents at www.digitalmars.com/d/ The optimizer, code generator, and object file generator are not part of this source, hence the source does not currently constitute a complete, compilable program. However, many people have expressed a strong interested in producing a D compiler with the GNU compiler sources. This release should enable that. These sources are free, they are redistributable and modifiable under the terms of the GNU General Public License (attached as gpl.txt), or the Artistic License (attached as artistic.txt). It does not apply to anything else distributed by Digital Mars, including D compiler executables. -Walter Bright
