I think template mixins can achieve the same sort of shenanigans. I think
warning it is.
You mean string mixins?
As string mixins are so much more expressive than C macros, one should
actually almost never get trivial dead code in well designed string mixins.
Yes, the equivalent to the C preprocessor is version statements.
Obviously anything wrapped in a version(none) block shouldn't generate
an "unreachable code" error...
