Yeah, this was a very strange statement to read.

In fact, it's even more wrong than that. The ability for managed runtimes to perform LTO across dynamic code loading means you're even able to get LTO across code your compiler has never witnessed - e.g. plugins written by 3rd parties.

I think it's just usually rolled up into optimizations with other names, like "speculative inlining".
