If done excessively, I could certainly see that. But outside of new languages that haven't gotten to that point yet, I don't know of any that don't have compiler/runtime flags of this sort. E.g. Java, Perl, C, C++, PHP, etc. I would be curious why you think D can escape this fate?
PHP is a perfect example of why language-altering flags is a very bad path to start heading down. (Granted, the problem is *vastly* worse in an interpreted language than a compiled one, but still.)
