Would it make sense to have `dmd -v=json` to avoid custom parsing of -v ? benefit: * avoid having to maintain parsers for -v output (eg used in rdmd) * current parser not forward/backward compatible with different dmd releases (eg each time something is added, it can break the parser, eg 2.073 introduced `predefs DigitalMars Posix OSX ..` * useable in tooling * avoid corner cases (eg escaping spaces etc)
