Remove un-used IL?

[SimonCropp]

It would be good to be ale to remove un-used types and members from reference assemblies to minimise the deployment size of the resultant assembly.

That could be dangerous. How would you know a type is unused not just by your package, but the referenced assembly itself?

And what about types invoked through reflection? They would be rare, but still possible.

Wait we are embedding dlls+pdbs as resources, compressing them and then using IL to inject a module initializer that loads them at runtime. I think we stepped over "dangerous" a while back. :)

However II wasnt saying this is a must do. it would just be an interesting challenge. and could be off by default.

and reflection types could be explicitly included with some kind of config.

closed because if anything this should be its own fody addin
