Nov. 25, 2015: This thread
This really puts things in perspective.
What I got from this thread is that the only things worth
worrying about are:
1. code.dlang.org presents dub configuration snippets in a format
that doesn't match dub's default configuration format
2. dub could use a way to specify the default configuration
format.
IMHO what would also be great is make the default dub.sdl larger,
with comments explaining options, and commented-out examples of
other common options. This should make trips to dub's package
format's and SDL's reference necessary much less often.
