Some points:

1. dmd foo
will compile 'foo.d' and create 'foo.exe' on Windows. So if 'foo' is allowed to
be a D source file, this works fine. But on Linux, compiling source code 'foo'
and creating executable file 'foo' will overwrite the source file. You'll have
to specify -of, too.

2. If you wish to name a script file 'foo.bar', D uses the file name as the
module identifier. D does not allow non-identifier characters in the module
identifier. This means you cannot also have scripts named '7foo(!)%^bar'
either.
