[This was probably the most recent 
discussion](https://forum.dlang.org/post/tomtejfkfcqdtmzeouvg@forum.dlang.org). If you really don't want to handle it that way, you can write a short script to automate the splitting of your files prior to compilation. My impression, which may be wrong, is that nobody's ever made a strong case that this issue is a sufficient problem to warrant yet another addition to an already large and growing language.
