This is what I do:
dmd -oprogram mod1.d mod2.d ...
objdump -D program | ddemangle > program.asm
vi program.asm
# search for symbol, e.g., "writeln". Assuming ddemangle has

Today's society is one of specialization: as you grow, you learn more
and more about less and less. Eventually, you know everything about
nothing.
