I don't think this would work (without introducing extra hacks) 
when druntime is used as a shared library. Plus, when writing 
plugins in D, there might not even be a host D application to 
handle the command line flags.

I'm not saying that command line arguments can't be made to work 
in these cases too, just that doing it will likely introduce 
quite a bit of extra complexity.
