I don't know what value it brings with the -i switch existing.
Almost none, except that it's twice as slow as DMD because it
needs to run DMD twice to learn about all the dependencies.
It's only useful for a few small things now:
- '-e': evaluate d code with all modules automatically imported
(though now that there's std.experimental.all this value is gone
too)
- makefile deps generation
- shebang line (as arguments can't be part of the shebang line)
