As Andrei said at DConf though, consensus requires at least 3

The current design encourages using more finegrained features
instead of the more blunt Os level versions.
version(iOS) { version = pthread;}
version(Android) { version = pthread;}
In the rest of the file simply check for pthread instead of OS.
That _sounds_ nice, but consider this:
version (linux) {
import core.sys.linux.dlfcn;
version = use_dlopen;
}
else version (FreeBSD) {
import core.sys.freebsd.dlfcn;
version = use_dlopen;
}
version(linux || FreeBSD) {
//version(linux || FreeBSD) {
version(use_dlopen) {
dlopen(...)
}
I shouldn't have to add another version just for that last
dlopen block. It's not "finegrained" control, it's cruft.
It does require more definitions, but it's worth it. A simple
example like yours may seem excusable, but there's no way to
limit such logic to just simple instances. Walter is coming from
long experience with this, and even with my limited experience
with such logic, I'm grateful for it, as dealing with more
complex versions of such logic is a royal PITA.
