I had a brief look at your PR and I think that indeed something 
like `--global-module`, or rather `--prelude` [[¹]][1] [[²]][2], 
is the right way to go. Hopefully, that would allow to remove the 
hard-coded logic concerning `object.d` from the compiler by 
simply adding `--prelude=../include/dmd/object.d` to `dmd.conf`.
