good, vague/fallback else is bad. However on the flip side,
the more ports you add into one single file, the more you

I hope code duplication in many files rather than one file is
in the interest of everyone. :)
Yep. I think I mentioned in the github thread that while
versioning implementations within a single module worked for me,
it was because I was only targeting 3 platforms. With the number
of targets GDC and LLDC have, I think breaking things up as you
suggest is a preferable option.
