--- Comment #2 from Timothee Cour <timothee.cour2 at gmail.com> ---
EDIT: the reason i thought dmd2_071_2 accepted it was because the syntax -of=
was introduced in 072, and shell magic made the example work somehow by
accident, so reclassified as blocker instead of regression.

Nevertheless, IMO partial recompilation should be accepted. If not what are
workarounds?
