This needs to be taken out of DRuntime because DRuntime is distributed pre-compiled, and that ties it to a specific compiler API, which isn't good. Instead, we should distribute it as a package. It's something he'd brought up before.

Why not directly distribute DRuntime as a source? or rather, simplify how it can be used as a source

``dmd -i`` does the magic already, it'll be able to pick what ever module on the fly

That's how i use my custom runtime, as source, makes things much smoother to use, however, in the case of druntime, it might highlight some compilation speed issues

What was the rational behind distributing the runtime as a compiled library?
