You could use versions which sets bool variables and use static-if. I don't know if that's any better.
It'd still have the problem of the global name. Consider: -version=use_foo but then lib a and lib b both have: version(use_foo) bool usingFoo = true; but they have different meanings of what "foo" mean. The bool there won't trample cross module, but the version will still set it inappropriately. I really think using version() for features is just always a mistake since these things do happen anyway. The only place where it is clear is things like platform versions.
