The parser can tell when it is specified in the file. The 
compiler should set the `Module.edition` field before the parser 
receives the `Module` instance when a matching `-edition` or `-E` 
flag is passed. AFAICT `-edition` seems to be supported but 
ignored currently in recent git dmd, and `-E` isn't implemented. 
I'll file a bug.
