I agree that the emphasis should be on clarity of the error message rather than
trying to out-think the programmer. The linker dump, to uninitiated noobs like
me, looks an awful lot like a seg fault or bug with the compiler, not a flaw in
the programmer.

Another possibility for this (and other linker errors) - given that dmd invokes
the linker, its stderr could be redirected and filtered. The compiler can then
give a nice error for a missing main() function, and also demangle symbol names
without the linker needing modification. This avoids the issue of main() being
in a library, but is also a bit more hacky.
