it was started as "oh, i have this nice patch. and that nice patch. but
damit, they aren't working together, so i'll build with this and then
maybe apply that." and more patches. and then there are scripts to
apply patches. and now i have more than 20 patches for DMD alone, not
counting the patches for druntime and phobos. and i'm too lazy to
rewrite my scripts.

i need list of patches to apply anyway, and if i need to maintain both
git and list of patches, i can just use file system.

it's all just lazyness.

if you are asking why i'm not using vanilla DMD, the answer is easy: i
want to have some features that already available but rotting in PRs.
like, for example, Kenji patches for property enforcement and better
array type/length deduction. i want non-utf8 strings. and alot of other
things. i want to enjoy D, not to fight with it. ;-)
