I read from the FreeBSD documentation that dmd can compile many source trees without having to explicitly list all the filenames, however a lot of inlining optimizations are missed.

Curious, could dmd separate out the module identification logic into an earlier phase, so that it can perform the same optimization regardless of whether users remember to explicitly name their files?

Where, exactly, does it say that? The only possibility I can find is the -i option, but that works basically the same way as explicitly listing them.
