The meaning of `default` has been described in the following 
sentences of the original post, maybe in a bit strange form 
because of my English level. We would always have a default 
compiler or say `master` compiler. Changes go to DMD first and 
then to other compilers. A one with an ARM notebook can compile, 
run, test, and patch LDC, but actually, she/he would need to 
patch DMD, which can't be compiled for ARM.
