Answerting myself:
static if (__traits(compiles, version_minor < 67))
import std.string; // format() for versions < 2.0.67
else
import std.format; // format() for versions >= 2.0.67
That doesn't do what you want.
You need to `import std.compiler;` for version_minor. Without that
import, `__traits(compiles, version_minor < 67)` is always false,
because version_minor is undefined.
I have std.compiler imported.
And if you add the import, `__traits(compiles, version_minor < 67)` is
always true, no matter the value of version_minor. Use `static
if(version_minor < 67)` instead.
Ah, ok. Got it. so __traits(compiles,...) checks if the code can be
compiled, that's it.
Finally, there's need for this (yet). `std.string.format` is fine with
2.067, too. So unless you're going for (far) future compatiblity, you
can just do `import std.string;`.
I prefer to move things to the "far future compatibility" path ASAP.
Reduce a lot of maintenance headaches.
Thanks for the feedback.
