Ah nice! I didn't know about that.
I wish someone had told me about it earlier. Are there any tutorials for 
mango that explain where everything is?
I don't mean the documentation. I mean something that tells you: "if you 
want to read/decode files, see the documentation for 
mango.io.UnicodeFile" for example...

I use build, so I don't really care.

Yes, that would be great.
Just let dmd recursivly compile all imported module, and because dmd is 
so fast, it doesn't matter even if dmd recompiles modules that have 
already been compiled.

I always use the -full -clean switches on build anyways.
