Issue 21299 has reared its ugly head again, this time the revert needed to resolve it is:
These code migrations between modules are making the import graph extremely brittle for compilers with the known template emission bug, and the relation between the bug and the change that triggered it is becoming less obvious.
In order to inure ourselves against these linker errors then, the
String!Value
type is now explicitly instantiated insidedmd.mtype
. This is safe for compilers with and without the template issue, but it is put inside astatic if
block anyway to make it clear that it shouldn't be removed.
