Please declare a standard unix location for D 'includes'. Nobody
agrees where in the filesystem D files should be.
I use /usr/include/d2/ for my stuff (I saw it precedented a few times
before, but it doesn't seem that great), but I want a standard place
that stuff bundled by linux package managers can agree on.

As for dub, I'd use it if it worked like a package manager; dub get
libcurl-d libqt-d zlib-d libsdl2-d etc
I have no use for it as a build system, and therefore it's expression
of dependencies is no use to me. I just want something that works the
same way as '-dev' packages already work perfectly well in linux, that
is, they fetch headers and libs, and put them in a standard location
that all the tooling can find.
