I think this is a serious problem. I hadn't thought of it before, 
but if we are designing our tools to work around implementation 
issues in the compiler, I think we're doing something wrong. 
Rather than meddling with a crippled incremental compilation 
model for rdmd that'll get obsoleted by a fixed compiler, how 
about attacking the problem directly?

It doesn't help that the problems surrounding incremental 
compilation (I mean the general case with incrementally compiling 
a few modules at once, not deadalnix's bug) don't seem to be 
well-defined. Do we have a filed issue with a reproducible test 
case?
