It's not D modules. I'm talking about loading dynamic file 
content from dynamically created files. The first one won't work, 
because it only imports modules and you still have to give DMD 
each module that you compile.

The second one won't work either, because again the files are not 
D modules. They're regular files that I need to handle at 
compile-time.

Besides your suggestion still requires manual work, which is what 
I need to avoid. I know how I can do it by specifying the files, 
but that's exactly what I want to avoid. I don't want to specify 
which files I need to handle, I just need to be able to handle 
all files in a folder without having to specify them somewhere 
after the creation.
