something like -iD / -iL / -iO flags would cover that. But I think that only 
source code would be used very often so making that the default would be 
reasonable in my book.

using the unix convention of - refering to stdin would cover what the OP 
wanted:

dmd -iD-

Because I can't select the filename. I was trying to use the "<(command)" 
construct under bash. This replaces the given with a path to a named pipe 
that the given command's stdout can be accessed from. The name is not something 
I can effect.
