It's been suggested that DMD/LDC/GDC could be combined into a bundle, say DCC, and when you call

DCC hello.d

it will call dmd hello.d,

and if you call

DCC -fast hello.d

it will call ldc hello.d or gdc hello.d

This will give newcomers a different experience.

I'm wondering if you couldn't achieve DMD's compilation speed in LDC by turning off some of the optimisation passes for debug builds. I understand that it will probably still be slower to compile, but if it's a negligible difference, and the community can fully support a single compiler I think that would be really good for D as a whole.
