I don't get what would be the benefit.
Currently, you can write that like:
version (debug_mem) {do something memory wise}
version (debug_see) {write a message to console}
In my opinion, saving a few characters here does not get
anywhere near a good reason to add language complexity.

It's not complex to add and it saves more than a few characters,
One can append attributes much easier to debug than version. That
alone saves about 10 chars each statement, if there is, say 1000
debug statements in a typical smallish app, that's 10000
characters, quite a bit. One also has to consider the extra
identifiers to add. That is around 20 chars each. It's also a bit
more visual.
It's also easier to remove attributes or change them. If one
needs to change all debug attributes @see to @look, that involves
about 10 keystrotes. If one has to do this to version, it is
about 30.
It already fits in with attributes... no extra complexity their.
