This is often a usable way of doing things, but sometimes not
so much. If you're writing a script for use with dub --single
or rdmd, you lose a lot of convenience if you use multiple
files. It might also take a lot of time to split things up once
static constructors get involved.
As far as single file scripts go, I don't think something like
100% perfect encapsulation is always required. A single file
script is usually a quick way to do a specific thing once or
twice, and not a persistent project demanding the best code
quality.
