Does anyone know why RDMD collects dependencies using "-v" instead of "-deps"?

I was thinking of doing a PR to switch it to -deps as that would help solve a couple problems, but I'm not sure if there's already some reason why it's using -v instead. (I could've sworn it used to use -deps at some point years ago.)

Pretty sure that -deps didn't exist when rdmd was initially built. I'd think that any other use for using -v would be considered a bug in -deps.

Search for "deps" in the git history to see if/when it was changed, i.e. "git log -S deps".
