Perhaps I misunderstand something. Why compile files that has not
changed? I mean that rdmd should compile all files that has changed
including its dependencies, no more, no less. It should compile all
these files in one go.
Yah, that's the traditional C-style module-at-a-time approach. Somewhat
paradoxically, for D it's faster to compile several files at once, even
though not all were affected by the change.
So in the package-at-a-time approach if at least one module in a package
is affected by a change, the entire package gets rebuilt.
