When using reflect, arbitrary types can be synthesized. This invalidates a few assumptions in the interface-lowering pass, that think they can see all types that are in use in a program and optimize accordingly. The file size impact depends on the specific program. Sometimes it's nonexistent, sometimes it's rather hefty (up to 30% bigger). Especially the samd21 targets seem to be affected, with a 2000-6000 bytes increase in code size. A moderately large case (the stdlib test) increases by 4%/6%/15% depending on the target. I hope that this increase could be mitigated, but I don't see an obvious way to do that.
