Oh, please don't start making copies of things just to please a dependency analyzer - there should be "one true copy" of each file, spawning multiple copies all over the shop is just insane.
I agree. The right solution is not copies.
It kind of depends. Trivial utilities such as add_reference, remove_extent, is_array, addressof consist of a few lines of code (not counting the workarounds, many of them obsolete, others not applicable to a narrow use case.)
