I have always tried to reduce compiler bugs to lib independent bugs,  
and submit them

here it is

Basically only the modules directly or indirectly included by the main  
module (and about this I think that I also had issues connected with  
the order with which the modules are passed to the compiler, at least  
when compiling several at once, but I am not sure anymore) are  
initialized.
Thus only those modules are "seen", and an empty main that does not  
import anything would not test anything...

sure that it works with D2? It is intrinsically connected with how the  
module info is stored.
