With C++ and Python, it is idiomatic to put the application version number in a separate file that can then be processed by the build system. For C++ a config file is constructed defining a macro that is then used in the rest of the course. For Python the file is read at runtime to define a variable. The build system itself uses the version number for creating deb, RPM, egg, wheel, etc. packages.
D has no macro processing so C++ idioms are not useful. D does create a standalone executable and so the Python approach of reading the file at initialization time seems inappropriate. Is there a known D idiom for this?
