Is that still a problem with your latest Objective-C support patches?

Nothing has changed. But I'm not sure if I think it's a problem anymore. I think this is better left for the build tool, same thing with "pragma(lib)". GDC doesn't implement "pragma(lib)" and would most likely not implement this either.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree that this is useless; I still wish we had it, and it would be a trivial little addition. If it doesn't work in gdc, no big deal, they can still use their command line. But it is nice for things to just work and specify their own dependencies.

Well, pragma(lib) only works if you are compiling the project, not importing it
(i.e: Every pragma(lib) in core.sys.windows doesn't work with certain build
configurations).  pragma(framework) will suffer from the same limitation.

The build tools are better placed to manage this, assumedly because you already explicitly say what your dependencies are, and it can merge all library dependencies together in the final link command.

Indeed, and I can live with that. It is still nice to have it there.
