This was my intuition, but currently it won't go beyond templates 
code-gen wise. It however seems to analyze the whole code.

It would still be a hack.. while I'm looking for a fix (or a 
clarification that we need a hack).

If it was my personal problem I'd "solve" it with:
dmd ~/dmd2/phobos/std/*.d <blah>

maybe even alias it like this. Hm this way I could even inline some of 
druntime...

Agreed.

And that could be improved.. once it starts going into finer-grained 
imports/packages. The general felling is that it'd be *soon*.
