This is an enhancement request.

I would like it if dmd would print a line on the standard output when it
encounters an entry point function ("main" or "WinMain"). Optionally, the
module name where it was found should be printed as well.

This will allow build tools, like rdmd, to react intelligently based on what is
specified on the command-line. If there is no entry point defined, the build
tool may select to skip linking, or build a library, instead of attempting to
link an executable (which will likely fail due to lack of an entry point).

In my case, it would allow creating a file manager association with .d files,
such that executing the association on a main program file would compile and
link the program, and executing the association on a component module would
merely check the code for compilation errors.
