Once this is merged in DMD, __selector could be documented to be 
syntactically identical to a delegate (although semantically different) 
and it could be made syntactically valid for regular D code compiled 
with no Objective-C support (although it'd remain semantically 
invalid). That'd allow you to hide it in version blocks and static ifs.
