2. dmd compiler's command line options:
This is mostly an esthetic issue. However, it is like the entrance to
your house. People who are not sure about entering in
care about what it looks like from the outside. If Walter is willing,
I can work on a command line options interface proposal
that would keep backwards compatibility with the existing options.
This would enable a staged transition. Would there be
an interest in this?
A proposal would be nice. But please keep in mind that people often view
their build systems / makefiles as black boxes, and breaking them with
incompatible changes can be extremely annoying.
Here is one proposal:
