FORCING people who want to create large D projects to manually maintain  
.di files seems like a horrible solution for me. One of the reasons I ran  
 from C++ is due to not having to maintain header files any longer.  
Whatever your reasons are for manually-maintained .di files, let's not  
consider them a cure-all for all large project problems.
