Indeed it's not, it's understood that it's too much effort, 
though we sometimes pick low-hanging fruits. Mostly dmd's backend 
is kept because it's still ~1.5-2x faster to produce debug 
binaries.
In case you're not on Windows, the install.sh script is a fairly 
easy way to switch compilers.

   curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd
   curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s ldc
   curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s gdc
