That's great, thank you very much.

Is there anything wrong -- in principle -- with (for now)
treating open-source D libraries much like the various Boost C++
libraries, which AFAICT are almost entirely header-based?
I ask because so far as I can tell that would work around the
immediate problems of compiler incompatibilities, it would not
add any extra work compiler-wise that's not already there with
dub's current way of doing things, and for template-heavy D code
(which is quite a lot of code), it makes no difference, since
that would have to be available in .d or .di files anyway.
