D code already compiles pretty quickly, but here's an
opportunity to nearly halve that time (for some cases) - by
moving some of rdmd's basic functionality into the compiler.
Make the D compiler search for its modules was one of the
first (unwritten) enhancement requests. That's the right
default for a handy compiler (plus a compiler switch to
disable that behavour). But for backwards compatibility I
think that switch has to do the opposite, to enable the
recursive search.
Yes, I agree completely. D is the only programming language I
know that has both a module system, and the archaic C/C++
compilation model. Even Pascal got this right!
Yep, units exist since UCSD Pascal.
