I understand your point, however I argued above that we should run a test
at compile time to detect cycles. It won't catch all cycles (because of
certain di files), but it will catch most of them (at least all of the
ones
not involving di files). This would be especially handy for people using
rdmd.
At runtime, we will also run the test to catch all cases.
rdmd could, as an extra step, generate a program that simply exits with 0,
to check all cycles. Then run that as part of compilation step.
There isn't a whole lot of difference between checking at compile time and
checking at runtime before main starts.
