to be correct D1 code as well.
I agree that's an issue. Currently, the only way to deal with this is one of:
1. Minimize the differences, and maintain two copies of the source code. Using
the (rather fabulous) meld tool (available on Linux), the merging is pretty
easy. I use meld all the time to, for example, merge differences in the code
base between dmd1 and dmd2.
2. Isolate the code that is different into different files, which minimizes the
work involved in (1).
3. Use string mixins and the token string literal form.
I've also found that using the string alias rather than char[] does account for
an awful lot of the differences.
