They aren't really required, the program will work without them, 
the linker argument tells the operating system not to allocate a 
console for this process.

That's not always wanted; I like having a console for printf 
debugging even with a gui.

But on my system, I made a separate little script that adds the 
linker argument so I don't type it out often when I want that. 
You might consider doing the same.


BTW I think dmd should have more linker pragmas though. I 
wouldn't mind a pragma(windows_subsystem, "windows") as well as 
things like pragma(manifest, "<some xml>") or pragma(resource) or 
pragma(module_definition) and so on. But eh I can see the 
arguments against these too.
