I have yet to see a single case of "needing" boolean versions that could
not be refactored into something much more readable and maintainable that
did not use such.
Over time, I've gotten rid of most of that stuff from the dmd source code,
and the result has been quite pleasing.
The numerous remaining cases in dmd are why ddmd uses static if instead of
version. It's almost always easier to just use the more powerful 'static
if' than to refactor the code to use D's crippled 'version'. Keeping this
feature simple and limited just pushes the complexity into user code.
