Abstract:
This DIP seeks to improve dmd and rdmd's command line flags, to
make it
more self-consistent and consistent with other tools (including
other D
compilers), more expandable, avoid existing corner cases, and
better
interact with other tools such as rdmd. It also proposes new
flags and
proposes a simple deprecation path to follow.

Looks good. But I would add one more. I'd like a dmd-specific
flag for specifying the library path. Of course, on posix systems
it's '-L-L/some/path', but I never can remember the format for
OPTLINK (it involves a '+') and don't know offhand what it is for
VS. In my build scripts, I just keep my libs local to the project
tree and pass the full path of each library in order to avoid the
hassle of trying to accommodate each possible linker. I'd love a
new flag that would allow passing the libpath to DMD and let it
handle putting it in the appropriate format for the current
linker.
