But it is indeed supposed to be rare case and I do recommend
to install such tools via system package manager instead

Yes, it is best not to interfere with system package managers
if they exist. On the other hand how do you install end-user
tools like dcd, dfmt on windows, other than git clone + build?
I'm wondering why are packages updated so rarely on the dub
repository?
For example I have dfmt 0.5.0, while dub fetch installs 0.4.5
`dub fetch` downloads the latest stable version if the
`--version=` option is not specified. dfmt 0.5.0 is still in
beta, according to latest tag in the repository.
`dub search` on the other hand lists only the latest version, so
you can use that (in combination with `dub fetch --version=`) to
get the latest version.
