Yes I thought about that case. It would still work by passing the same -I
flags:
dmd -c -Isrc src/foo/bar.d
dmd -c -Isrc src/main.d
// link later
When a file would be fully specified on the command line as above, the -I
flag would specify the offset from which to compute the relative path. I
think it's a simple rule that makes code more DRY and easy to refactor.
