new DIP41: dmd/rdmd command line overhaul.

[Dicebot]

Except D is nowhere close to stable, it only pretends to. Every 
single release breaks the code. Every. Usual attitude "well, it 
is a breaking change and a lot of users will be screwed, but it 
is a bug fix, so we are all right?". No, you are not. I can't 
imagine where such definition of "breaking" came from, it is 
literally single most disastrous thing in D development process.

And I have proposed various ways to address it properly via 
release process numerous times. Every single topic was ignored 
both by Andrei and Walter. Because, yeah, it isn't real problem, 
is it?
