I think when people are talking about not wanting it to install
things they are talking about the latter, not the former.
I feel that, in order for this behaviour to be truly local to the
compiler and OS-independent, that the interface between the
compiler and dub is required, to inform the former about the
existence of these packages.
Currently, this is a compiler-by-compiler approach but, if
standardized, it will kinda go into language/compiler specs.
