TL;DR: template expansion meant that we had more replicated code than expected from the inline expansion of code in Printer and friends. Restructured and added NEVER_INLINE to try to make the call sites as small as possible. It's a modest code-size savings but nonzero... e.g., the linux-x86-64 .o output from correct_cross_compilation drops from 164280 bytes to 162936 bytes.
