A change that I cannot see breaking backwards compatibility
while also shortening code duplication.
It also seems much more 'intuitive' to me.
version(Windows) version(DigitalMars) {}
made me think twice to make sure I knew what it was doing.
What do you guys think? If this was implemented, how could it
break backwards compatibility?
Is something like this worth a change?
Are there any drawbacks to this idea?
This "issue" comes once in a while. The suggested solution:
version(OSX)
version = Somethingable
version(Windows)
version = Somethingable
version(FreeBSD)
version = Somethingable
version(Somethingable)
dosomething();
version(Linux)
otherthing;
Not necessarily more concise but it can add description to what
the actual version being created.
