Just deprecate LDC and GDC. They compile slowly and are unlikely 
to ever deliver fast compile times, due to their design.

If it produces code that's fast enough, there is zero benefit to 
using a different compiler. If you use a development workflow 
that's heavy on compilation, stay away from LDC or GDC until 
you're done - and even then, you might not have any motivation to 
use either.
