How do people feel about putting source compiler directives inside rdmd?

No, it doesn't. The script isn't executed, or if it is there's no 
effect, but the exit code doesn't indicate an error either.
Using  #!/usr/bin/dmd -run  doesn't work either (out of the box) 
if /tmp is mounted noexec.

So you're saying that ldc and gdc are duplicated and hence wasted 
effort ?

In my mind having options and alternatives is as good a thing as 
diversity can be.
