We resort to enums whenever 'version' is not adequate like

A good example -- which only proves how the current version()
block is insufficient. So instead of version(xxx), which states
your intent clearly, you get lots of non-idiomatic static ifs,
which are more cumbersome and error prone.
That example is misleading, as that was translated from C++ and
the host half of it was removed a couple months ago:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/5549/files
I'll submit a PR for the rest: I'm sick of this argument that
"ddmd is using static if, so why shouldn't I?"
