But imported modules are the important case. If I have an important bugfix in a module, and don't want to wait for the next release, what am I supposed to do?
Rebuild Phobos. If rdmd were to compile your module, linking would fail due to duplicate symbols.
I don't know how rdmd works exactly, but AFAICS `dmd -deps` already outputs the full paths of the imported files, recursively. Isn't that enough?
rdmd also needs to know which directory contains Phobos sources.
