Bug 9287 – DMD should read from stdin when an input file is "-"

This is consistent with behavior in most other language compilers (and tools in general).

Scratch that, it should read from stdin if "-" is one of the input files. Doesn't have to be the only one.

This is problematic because DMD uses single dash for arguments, if you accidentally run DMD with: $ dmd -arg1 - arg2 -arg3 You're going to get some pretty awful error messages if DMD tries to read this. But you can already use RDMD for this via `--eval=code`, why reimplement this in DMD?

This is normal for Linux. Look at: man cat and there are both - prefixed switches and - meaning read from stdin.
