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.
Hmm. Should I understand the sandbox as if I am going to be
compiling someone else's code, only looking at -J flags will be
enough to make sure it is not using any of my private files?
