        version(all) { ... }
        version(none) { ... }
        version(Posix) { ... }
        version(Windows) { ... }

But yeah, using "version" for this purpose makes the very common
identifier "version" unavailable for use.  I've been bitten by this
multiple times.

        auto version = getVersion();    // NG
        auto ver = getVersion();        // OK

        struct PacketHeader {
                ushort version;         // NG
                ushort ver;             // OK
        }
