I feel that, in order for this behaviour to be truly local to the 
compiler and OS-independent, that the interface between the 
compiler and dub is required, to inform the former about the 
existence of these packages.

Currently, this is a compiler-by-compiler approach but, if 
standardized, it will kinda go into language/compiler specs.
