It is possible to make root builds way faster, specially for 
those which contains a lot of code. That being said, I would need 
an implementation of import analyzing library.

It should work as simply as: send a source file path and import 
paths then  it returns: the imported files by this file which it 
were found on:

```d

struct SourceFile
{
     string importPath, string sourcePath;
}

SourceFile[] getDependencies(string inputFile, string[] 
importPaths);

```

If that kind of work has been done in this area, I could do an 
improvement to redub.
Keep in mind that this is not a guaranteed improvement since the 
time it needs to analyze the imports can't be greater than the 
time won by using object files.

In general you can't really do this because of string mixins. In 
practice you can get obviously get quite close.
