I've heard that before. So, if directory traversal is only for import
expressions then it should be fine because importing two files cannot be
less safe than importing one file. So, we need to let the compiler know
that we will import, nothing fancy:
// Mapping from file name -> content
string[string] contents = static import("my/dir");
Note the clever :o) use of 'static' which means "directory" in this
case. :o) Now we have all contents as an AA, ready to be parsed,
mixed-in, etc. But I this is not important at all. Build step is just fine.
