possible. Then DMD (and potentially the other compilers) will
have the
feature in case anyone finds it useful and we can move on.
Call it
-minimal.
I have a feeling we've already spent more time talking about
this than
Walter would have spent implementing it anyway, so it's
already taking
time away from other things. Let's just give it a nod and
move on.
I convinced Walter of my view on this, so he won't work on it.
I trust that at least between the two of us we can focus on
working on what matters most first.

But keep -minimal in mind. A good idea, both the concept and the
flag name.
