huh? Yes it is necessary. How hard could it be. Editing a

Harder is relative. You're talking about adding a maintenance
cost to dub for something that can be trivially done in a
script. Regardless, your best bet is to add an enhancement
request to dub's issue list [1] and see how it goes. Be sure to
clarify if you're talking about passing args to dub or to the
target of `dub run`, or both.

Come on, stop trying to be the asshole. You know as well as I do
that it would require nearly 0 maintenance. You act like this is
rocket science when really you are just being lazy.
With your logic there is no reason to do anything because
everything requires some non-zero maintenance cost. I have to
maintain my script too, that is non-zero.
The dub source code already has all the machinery
required(parsing the dub json file and parsing the commands) so
it would require very little code and require very little
maintenance and provide a huge benefit for complex command line
arguments and allow those command lines to propagate with the
project file instead of the user having to provide a potentially
security hole by passing around script files.
See, you can't win because you are wrong.
