Thanks! I love such features. It is so useful for a program to write out
its configuration file. (My tools did that too.)

Neither of which is obvious to the newcommer at all. Not one bit! Even
though I knew dscanner was the program 'dub lint' uses (perhaps because
I noticed the message as it was being installed?) I did not think even
once that 'dub lint's --config would refer to 'dscanner's config.
As a dub user, I wouldn't know to go to a random program's web site.
Even 'dub lint' doesn't mention dscanner:
