Bug 2714 – std.getopt erroneously splits arguments

When you try: rdmd --eval='printf("Hello world\n");' You get an error. rdmd tried compiling the string 'printf("Hello'. Looking into this further, std.getopt explicitly ignores shell escaping. There's no way to pass in an argument with spaces using std.getopt. The fix is to eliminate lines 312 to 327 inclusive in std/getopt.d, and rely on the shell to split the arguments properly.

Thanks, that's been fixed in svn already. Unfortunately that can't be built from source yet, but in the interim a Linux binary is to be found at http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~aalexand/d/rdmd (I also added a --main option)
