So right now the compiler, when given a .d/.di file it opens it, 
reads the contents and immediately lexes+parses the string after 
which the string is discarded. If the contents of the file need 
to be changed or reanalyzed, then the whole process needs to be 
started from scratch. What you are proposing Jacob is that the 
contents of the file are stored somewhere for ease of reuse. Is 
that right?
