More that the experience for users who disable the language's 
runtime isn't great. He didn't seem to understand that that's 
what betterC does, hence complaining that he can't use Phobos or

We should undocument and/or deprecate that stupid flag, because 
it only causes confusion and frustration, as seen in the video.
