Having the declarations in both files is the point though.

If you notice, the only difference between my test.d and test.di 
files is that test.di is only the declarations. The speed 
increase for compiling happens because of this. You still need 
all declarations to be there when you build, or at least the ones 
you use.

You build the library with test.d and then build using test.di 
when you use the library. You never use both test.d and test.di 
together. Double check my build commands.
