Nice idea, especially with the template to make things easier. Still it looks ugly. Version identifiers and numbers (as well as debug identifiers and numbers) serve a very good purpose (parametrizing modules), but they're vastly incomplete. There's so much useful stuff that could be done if module could have access to data of user defined types. I think this is very close to the idea of UDAs. If UDAs become mutable (which I think would be the most important feature of UDAs), then the module declaration could also get mutable UDAs, which would solve all problems. Don't you think? And version identifiers can be used as described in Version.d, except they'll change the module UDAs instead of defining a manifest constant.
Do you have any example of how you would like this to look like? -- /Jacob Carlborg
