Another option is to get around to making the frontend actually
fully separate in the directory structure to the backend.
E.g.
src/dlang/frontend/
src/dlang/backend/
src/dlang/mars.d
import dlang.frontend.apply;
It would be the first stage of actually making the frontend
actually palatable to us end developers.
