I don't either.

However, I'm of the opinion that the DMD front-end should incorporate a 
little of Derek's Build goodness: specifically the facility to 
incorporate imported modules as part of the codegen/link step.

DMD has always opened and parsed all import modules, but right now it 
appears to discard them before codegen. Seems to me that should change 
(via a switch, or something); assuming Derek were given some credit for it
