Fantastic example of why this strategy should be just banned.
Just as well I wasn't recommending it as a long-term solution.
I was more offering it as additional evidence that template

"Banned" is a strong term. Perhaps you simply meant it should
not be recommended and should not be used in Phobos?
Yes, perhaps "strongly discouraged" would be a more appropriate
wording.
version(StdDdoc) already appears about 40 times in Phobos,
sometimes wrapping quite large blocks of declarations. I doubt
the maintainability of such setup in the long term.
