Just use the static if trick.
Someone had used the static if trick in druntime. It caused
some weird dependency bugs. I removed it - it turned out to be
confusing, buggy, and wholly unnecessary.
Probably because of this forward referencing bug with "static
if," which I've run into myself:

I agree with you about using version and I applaud your attempt
to centralize such version logic, just pointing out that bugs in
the implementation of "static if" are not a good way to enforce
this. ;)
