YES! EXACTLY! I AM EXPECTING THE SOFTWARE, WHICH IS WHAT THE PROGRAMMER CREATED AND HANDLES THE FILES TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE HELL IT IS DOING!

If the software has some build in design that makes it use arbitrary files in a specific way like it does with std.datetime, then it should have sanity checks.

Seems like the DMD zip should contain a notice like this: "Extract into an empty directory."
