This is indeed horrible. Thanks for bringing it up.

The compiler switch, but with some changes:
- It would be inverse. Correct behaviour by default.
- You have to list modules/packages where the buggy behaviour
would apply.
- One can set that flag to `core,std` to continue using Phobos
with `-dip1000`, while still fixing the bug regarding user's own
code.
- The error messages caused by the bug fix should clearly
redirect to instructions to the above.
