Suffixes are dash separated list of operating system/architecture/compiler identifiers, as defined in the D language reference, but converted to lower case. The order of these suffixes is os-architecture-compiler, where any of these parts can be left off. Additionally on Windows the architectures x86_omf and x86_mscoff can be used with dmd to differentiate between 32 bit object formats used with the --arch switch.

Alternatively we could just extend platforms to work in places other than configurations. https://dub.pm/package-format-json.html#configuration-settings

We have specific directives based on os, I had an idea that you could
say something like:
```json
"dependencies-windows": {
"not-available" : "*"
}
```
But it still tries to find this package even on non-windows OSes, so
that doesn't work. This still wouldn't prevent you from adding the
dependency on your non-supported OS in the first place, but I'm not sure
that's a good UX, since someone might add a dependency for a specific
OS, even when not on that OS.
You could possibly create little stub packages for all OSes to be
excluded, like `exclude-os:windows`, and then you could add those
dependencies to non-windows libraries. Yes, it would download those
stubs once, but would fail to build on the "wrong" OS.
I think your best bet is to version the whole library out, and let them
read the static assert message from compiling against your library.

Not necessarily a dub solution but you can do something like this:
```d
version(Posix) { }
else
static assert(0, "Unsupported platform.");
```
This will result in a compiler error while targetting a non-posix platform.
Thanks a lot ... but thats a little late for me :) as someone already
might have added my library and was looking forward on using it.
