Something I've wanted to ask for a while: Would it be possible

reference they always say since `10.8` etc. which used to be
very helpful.
In Swift they even added language support for using different
versions of the API's.
I've just had the case where LDC (based on 2.070.2) did not
compile code based on Phobos 2.071.1, which is nothing unusual of
course. Only it would have been nice, if the function
`std.algorithm.maxPos` had had the info "since 2.071.0" attached
to it. How am I supposed to know that `maxPos` is new while
`minPos` was already available in 2.070.0. It'd make things a bit
smoother, especially because not all compilers use the same
version of Phobos.
