If it's illegal in D, what is the reason & where is documented?
The reason I was considering such a construct is the following:
Some C libraries have an associated "config.h" header that gets
generated when it is compiled.
I was thinking it may be possible to parse these config.h files at
compile time (using text import) and convert some of the #define's into
"version = foo;"
Even if that is valid code, you are much better off using enums and static
if.
enum includeSomeFeature = ...
static if(includeSomeFeature)
{
...
}
These work much more like #defines, and can be seen outside the module.
