What you should probably do anyways is:


1- fork the project on github

2- apply the workaround for nullable

Update your dub file so it picks your dependency (people forgot, 
but you can use git repo as dependencies, just like in go)

```json
	"repository":"https://github.com/your_github/tkd.git",
	"dependencies": {
		"tkd":  "~master" // or what ever version you want
	}
```
