There's this recent trend seen with git and go - all tooling is entered

Are there advantages to doing the same for our toolchain? (Consider
it'll include things such as dub, dfix, and dformat in the future.)
Something like "dc", a program that parses the command line and
dispatches it to the appropriate tool(s).
How would this add value to our toolchain?
I like the idea. Currently there are a couple flags that are kind of
namespaced example:
-D generate documentation
-Dddocdir write documentation file to docdir directory
-Dffilename write documentation file to filename
I have thought of moving the doc generating to a separate
tool/executable, to allow better names for these flags and avoid
cluttering the compiler with flags. But making it into an action/command
on the compiler instead would be even better.
