Dub integrated into the compiler?

I has been proposed some time ago already and I am still strictly 
against it. It greatly reduces predictability of compiler 
invocations which causes problems for larger projects while 
slightly improving experience of scripters and hobbyists. Not a 
good trade-off.

It also can't work that way without imposing new restrictions on 
dub registry as currently it is legal to have same package names 
in different packages (which is a nice feature to keep).

At the same time convenience gain over simply using dub instead 
of dmd is almost neglectible.
