Good idea. As long as it is troublesome to build the plugin from scratch 
due to prerequisites and a collection of patches, it could be helpful to 
get as much information as possible for bug reports.

I've tried to create a release version with debug symbols, but it 
crashes dmd, causes assertion and does not compile.

I've fixed the crash, but the assertions remain. I'll have to investigate...

PS: I don't think the pragma is causing any special trouble, Visual D 
has just a scanner, it does not do any code analysis.
