Fair enough, thanks. Anyhow the point is, to paraphrase Gandhi: "Be

Well, Cliff & I (and whoever's interested) will see what we can do about
that. Perhaps in the not-so-distant future we may have a D build tool
that can serve as the go-to build tool for D projects.
Sounds like a fun project. In case you'll allow me an opinion: I think
dependency management is important for D, but a build tool is highly
liable to become a distraction. Other ways to improve dependency
management are likely to be more impactful.
