Ok, well I remember this discussion about 6 months ago on digitalmars.D, and I guess this answers my other implicit question, which was "Why hasn't this been done already?". I had thought that it was just an oversight that got lost in bigger and better things.
We definitely should do it. I was unable to build Phobos with std.all, but I pasted all of its contents into a file with an empty main. Building and running the whole banana only took 0.68 seconds.
We're enjoying a tremendous compilation speed advantage, which affords us to do things that other languages can't hope to emulate reasonably. Let's use that advantage.
I just checked in linux.mak with code that generates std/all.d. For now, the code comments out std.bigint to make everything work. It does work rather beautifully.
Walter, could you look into the std.bigint issue? All you have to do is build on Linux, uncomment the import of std.bigint, and see why the error occurs.
