That's not the case, really. The compiler (well, at least the
conventional one, not the one like
we have on Plan9) has very little tricks up its sleeves that can help
with that. The best
case scenario is to generate everything into .os and hope that "de-
duping" will be
done by the linker. That's how COMDAT works. cfront-ish approach can
do exactly
the same.

Thanks,
Roman.
