I am assuming that you generate .di files every time and use that for 
importing, not the .d files.

These days I'm leaning quite heavily towards projects using .di files 
for intermediary steps, due to distribution reasons with shared libraries.

It's already impossible to keep bindings to D code up to date manually, 
I tried pure was a killer on that idea.
