When I do need something like this, I just define some manifest constants in a
config module, import that everywhere, and use static if. But that feels very
much like the workaround it is. I would much prefer to have boolean versions.
I know this seems to make perfect sense, and that is how things are done in the
C world. I've spent decades doing it that way. I grew to hate it, but had a hard
time thinking of a better way, because I was so used to doing it that way.
There's a better way, though. In my posts, I listed a couple ways to avoid
having to do this in every module.
BTW, the static if approach was used in druntime, and caused a bug that took me
hours to track down. I PR'd that out.

Your code is your business, but while ah gots bref in mah body, that won't be in
druntime/phobos :-)
