I know that this might be too late but wouldn't it be possible to defer
the error message about typedef to later in the compile phase. Making it
possible to put a typedef in a version statement, something like:
version (D_Version2) {}
else {
typedef int foo;
}
This would allow to both support D1 and D2 in a library without the need
for string mixins. Obviously the compiler still knows about typedef
since it can give a proper error message about it so I was hoping it
wouldn't have to be as the case with the new D2 keywords which do
require a string mixin if you're supporting both D1 and D2.
Why not just change your D1 code to use alias instead of typedef?
In this case it's a serialization library and I would like to support
all available types.
