Bobby says

<<Per the appended example, whenever I instantiate a bounded string my
object file grows by about 140Kbytes.  This holds whether the
instantiation is done within a program or as a separate compilation
unit.  (I find that separately compiled instantiations vary in size by a
few thousand bytes depending on the bound that is specified, but those
sizes that I've tried are all in the 140-150K range.)

Sounds about reasonable for the code of bounded strings with debugging
information included -- of course the majority of this space is the
debugging information, but you must want it if you are generating it 
(unless you are simply blissfully unaware :-) :-)
