It might be a silly question: If the compiler includes old 
version Dlang.  So how about compiling with new version of Phobos 
source files. Will it compile take too long, huh?

One more question but it will be irrelevant: If we leave DMD out 
of the question; other compilers throwing an error when compiling 
with "-version=test1" etc. I guess only DMD supports it?

Thanks...
