Probably the best way to handle DMD args in |mach mochitest| is to have a --dmd-args flag, similar to the --debugger-args and --valgrind-args flags. This would be different to how |mach run| works, though, which allows DMD flags to be named directly. Perhaps |mach run| should also be changed to have a --dmd-args flag. (Furthermore, |mach run| uses --debugparams instead of --debugger-args for the name of the debugging param flag!)

All a bit of a mess :(
