It could only be detected at link-time, and the linker doesn't do any
custom processing, it just links.
Actually, I should have written "without running the program", be it
compile-time or link-time.
But in any case, I still don't understand why you want to avoid
interdependencies. D is supposed to handle them well.
It's something I caught from reading Lakos's _Large Scale C++ Software
Design_ back in the 90's. Of course, D's module system alleviates a lot
of the problems with interdependencies in C++, but still, highly
interdependent systems are harder to test and less easy to change. I
don't think D has changed the game completely, making interdependencies
largely a non-issue.
