It changes compiler behaviour – only a single object file is 
produced. Historically, the default behaviour was used by some 
people/build systems for incremental compilation.

However, since incremental compilation only works when exactly 
the same (sub)sets of commands are invoked every time these days, 
-singleobj should arguably be on by default, at least when 
producing an executable.

This is actually what ldmd2 does already, but we should probably 
take the plunge and break backwards compatibility to enable it 
for the main driver too. I can't think of a scenario where you 
wouldn't want to be using it.
