No, not really, not in the case where the compiler is behaving as a script
interpreter. What it I have a script called `something` and I have a D project
that has a `something.d` module that gets compiled to `something.o`, and I want
to use my `something` script in that project? If my `something.o` gets replaced
by another `something.o` that has nothing to do with my project, the results
will be really really ugly and hard to know what really happened.

I still don't know if DMD produces any .o or any other temporary files, maybe
it doesn't, but I think we need confirmation before closing this issue.
