Such a thing is not impossible, however if it were done, it would more
likely be done using the same method as cast to get stuff to build in
the correct order. This has been something part way down my todo list
for a while... but since --fix works reasonably well, I haven't gotten
around to changing the behaviour. No idea when I will either, the
dlinting and circular deps are my priority ATM.
