I just want to echo Steve's sentiment, that it should be easy for new (and old) D users to start up a project without worrying about editions.
Actually, this brings another question to mind: what about old users who keep up with the language? Do they need to edit dozens or hundreds of files on each and every language update? (Of course, making a script do this for you wouldn't be especially difficult, but I don't trust scripts to edit my code soooooo lol and besides, what about things like ddoc examples, will it edit them too?)
I actually rarely need to edit my code in response to new dmd versions now, and they remain compatible across users with old and new compilers alike. Would be a pity to throw that off.
