There's no equivalent for the frontend version, though AFAIK.
If it's not your code that needs something compiler specific,
but you just want to control which is used, don't use dub as a
build tool, use another (cmake, meson, write your own
compilation "script" in D), and set it's invocation as a
prebuildcommand in the dub package file (make sure dub's source
file list is empty).

Many thanks!
