I recently discover a problem with breakage when trying to
compile using a newer version of DMD:

Well I don't know how thing are now in fact, but the above
wasn't the first time. And to be honest I already get it that
using languages like D, Rust and Go which "still" are growing
is a risk when talking about non-breakage.

To clarify: many projects will fail to compile when a new version
comes out.
However, you will NOT have to "rewrite" the project. Rather, a
few lines across the entire project might have to be updated.
