Is there a way to test whether 'static foreach' is available, 
e.g. via a version symbol?

Also, is it possible to conditionally compile depending on the 
compiler's version, not only the compiler (I mean, not compile 
a block if it's GDC version 5.4.1 or lower)?

I did look at the docs, several times, couldn't find it...

I would advice against checking the compiler version (as this is 
brittle) and instead check if the particular feature is really 
available.

enum hasFeatureAvailable(string code) = __traits(compiles,
{
    mixin (code);
});

enum hasStaticForeach = hasFeatureAvailable!("static foreach(i; 
0..1) {}");

pragma (msg, "Supports `static foreach`: ", hasStaticForeach);
