Imported object environment size increases when loading other modules #366
Description
Error description
Object size increases when importing multiple modules. This is really strange, because nothing happens to the object environment. In this example the size increases from 435kB to 26MB (!) just when loading 2nd module. Looks like all imported objects share the same resources, because finally all of them have the same accumulated size.

#' @export

ggplot(x, aes(Sepal.Width, Petal.length)) + geom_point()
