Currently auto-complete in terminals doesn't work with DMD's glued swiches, e.g. typing -odsome/dir disallows tab-completion. This similar issue https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12759 requests `-of filename` and `-od objdir` support. Even though I like that idea there is already a precedent for using `=` for switches in DMD, so this enhancement request might have a better chance of being accepted.
Renamed issue, I want this for -I, -J, and all other types of switches which take a path.
