Isn't this also an argument for the (ancient request of) inclusion
of a normal build feature into the D compiler?
I think if the compiler is going to be downloading files, it is
necessarily looking for those files... thus it'd become a bit of
a smarter build tool as a side effect of this change.
It'd be silly if it said "this module is missing, and I'll download
it, but I refuse to actually look at it once it's downloaded!"
Agreed. I think we should have a pragma that mentions "add this file to
the build" (possibly by adapting the existing pragma(lib, ...)), and
that pragma(liburl, ...) should imply that other pragma.
