Example usage

➤ ./test.d --first arg --second arg2
["--first", "arg", "--second", "arg2"]

dmd.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

src_dir="$(dirname "$0")/src"

# The options `-defaultlib=libphobos2.so` and `-L-fuse-ld=gold`
# make the compilation almost twice as fast in many situations.
#
# Explanation:
#   * ld.gold is in general a faster linker than the default one - ld.bfd
#   * Using the standard library Phobos as a shared library, means there a lot
#     less work for the linker in the first place

dmd -mv=build_scripts="$src_dir" \
    -defaultlib=libphobos2.so -L-fuse-ld=gold \
