Is there some way to globally declare version= or debug= statements in a file and have them apply to the entire project being compiled? As the documentation says these only apply to the module scope they exist in, and need to be added to the command line otherwise. It would be a bit easier for me to maintain a separate .d source file when I want to add/comment out statements for testing than to keep updating the build command line. I tried using a mixin, such as:

// constants.d
module constants;
enum VERSIONS = q{
        version=Compress;
};

// main.d
import constants;
mixin(VERSIONS);
void main() {
        version(Compress)
                writeln("Compress it!");
        version(Decompress)
                writeln("Decompress it!");
}

This does seem to work inside function bodies, but not at module scope in the importing file. e.g.:

// main.d
import constants;
mixin(VERSIONS)
version(Compress) {
        ...
}

Gives: Error: version `Compress` defined after use
