What would probably be more interesting is if dub were turned into a
library (or at least, if it guts were turned into a library, and the
command-line tool, dub, then used that library), and then IDEs could
manipulate the spec files via that library as well as do builds rather
than having to run a command-line tool, though it's not necessarily that
big a deal for an IDE to just parse the json or to run dub via the
command-line.
It is usable as a library! The API still needs a review pass before it
can be declared stable for 1.0.0, though, because it wasn't initially
considered as an external API and is still lacking in some areas, such
as documentation.
What is missing for IDE based manipulation is just an SDL writer, which
is planned for the next release. However, at least initially, that would
have to be taken with a grain of salt, as it wouldn't preserve
formatting and comments.
