I disagree:

- Most of the time I use -cov, it's to check the normal flow of program logic, rather than 
the unittests.  It's true that it *can* be used to check that the unittests cover all 
cases, but that's far from its only use.

- Even if checking unittests were its only *practical* use, it would be arbitrary to 
program in a restriction explicitly.

- If there are circumstances in which code coverage analysis shouldn't be allowed, the 
compiler should complain, not silently ignore the switch.

That it ignores -cov in the absence of these other switches is a bona fide bug.  You're in 
a better position to put it into Bugzilla than I am.

Moreover, does DMD have a Win64 (either runs on or compiles for) version?  Or is it just 
the normal Win32 version, running on your 64-bit system?  It would be useful if we could 
find out the circumstances in which this bug bites.
