Jesse Phillips:
The purpose is commenting out code, but note that there is also
version(none) { } which is never compiled in.
version(none) {} is probably the official way to comment out code.
And if you use a versioning system to keep your code, then commenting out
code is not a so wise thing to do.
Why not? I've never heard of a VCS that went around stripping out all
comments.
The question is: why comment and commit code that you can already find
in the commit history? Then you end up with huge files with things like:
/*
* Maybe we will use this in a future, this is not working right now
...
...
...
*/
and the code becomes a mess.
So I agree with bearophile here.
