As Mathias pointed out putting the compiler choice in the dub.sdl file
is actually not a good idea. I think leaving the dub.selection.json
file as an automated file is probably best, it means it is disposable
and recreatable easily without fear.

I hadn't thought of that, possibly because the file name has .json as
an extension. :-)

I wonder if having a per-project file for this sort of "not part of the
package specification, but part of the users use of the package" might
be a good idea. THis way there could be different defaults on a per-
project basis. Perhaps a settings.sdl file per project that takes
priority of the settings.sdl/settings.json file in ~/.dub.
