The main good things are the directory structure, dependency location is
unique, and the dpath lookup.
I'm still deciding on what other pros or cons to put in.

It's likely it will end up with more convention over configuration stuff.
Such as: if main.d exists make a executable otherwise make a library.

Oh another thing it does is if there is a directory called .dpath in a
folder or is parents then it will use that for install and lookup.

Regarding dip vs DIP the same exists in python.
