Please change the version identifier from linux to Linux.
D is a chance to fix stuff wrong or inconsistent in other languages. C
compilers may use inconsistent naming like __APPLE__, __MACH__, __linux,
_WIN32, _WIN64,

Now a developer already active on those platform is forced to somehow make

They call it "Mac OS", then they add a version like this: "Mac OS 9".
Then when the tenth versions came it happened to be built on a nix

__APPLE__ or __MACH__ -> OSX
Apple has made many operating systems besides OSX, so __APPLE__ is out.
I can't even remember which OS Mach is.
It's defined(___APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__) that is used (not "or").

Perhaps. One could argue it either way. I checked the predefined

All versions before Mac OS X 10.4 are "unsupported", even though
you can make Mac OS X 10.3 limp along with an older GDC version*.
