My libs always have a "package.d" or equivalent anyway, so I don't find 
it to be any sort of "workaround".

Even without that, rdmd-style still works if the lib is being used as a 
source lib rather than a pre-compiled static (or dynamic) lib.

But yea, if you're doing a precompiled lib and you don't want any sort 
of "root" module (don't see it as all that big of a deal though), then 
yea I guess you'd have to collect the list of sources dub-style instead 
of rdmd-style.
