More aggressive dictionary removal?

The best way I know is to put INLINABLE on all functions with dictionaries
that you want removed. That's what we do in e.g. containers. The pragma is
perhaps a bit misnamed, as it doesn't only imply that we make the source of
the function available for inlining, but also that we specialize the
dictionary arguments at every call site, when known.
