1. Because I am giving the full path of that file to be

2. Why do I need to tell compiler where to look at if I am
going to tell where the file is already? Shouldn't it be like
"Hey compiler, if you cannot while the file, look at those
places", and I shouldn't need to use J flag if not necessary?
It is a matter of security I think. By restricting imports to
only explicitly allowed locations and prohibiting fully-qualified
paths dmd guarantees you that compiled program won't access
anything outside of that sandbox. That way compilation process
stays relatively safe.
