It already does this, I would say.

1. The D equivalent of your use of `#if ... #else ... #endif` is 
`version() {...} else {...}`, which works in VisualD the same way 
as you show. `static if` is different: the condition often 
depends on the value of template parameters, so this does not 
simply translate to "dead" or "alive" in every case.

2. typeid is a runtime concept (takes inheritance into account) 
so this won't work in an editor outside of a debugging session. 
However VisualD already shows the (static) type and scope of 
variables on mouse-over, which is all you can wish for, I think.
