While that's better than nothing, it does matter where it's implemented. 
It means you only detect problems when remembering to run Dscanner. If 
you wire it into your build system, you've added a new dependency* to 
keep track of. You have to hope Dscanner continues to be maintained and 
kept in sync with your D compiler (not just that it builds, but it 
understands the latest D syntax and semantic changes).

* For this reason, in practice, most small D projects won't use Dscanner 
regularly.
