Description

mono-d already has it and it is so much more conveniant to have

1. a consistent format throughout the IDEs
2. to load it natively instead of "dub generate visuald" so that changes get recognized and i don't have to re-gen it all the time by hand

Just wanted to say that this item is important to me. Currently I must regenerate the IDE project files each time I change the architecture or build type.

The command-line can be quite convoluted, for example: dub generate --build=release_nobounds --arch=x86_64 visuald

Handy selectors for:

• arch
• build
• configuration

and building with "dub build" could save me a lot of time.
