There are times you may want to do something differently in a final release
version, just as the built-in D array types do.

It appears this could be added fairly simply.  
In src/dmd/mars.c there's this code:


    if (global.params.release)
    {   global.params.useInvariants = 0;
        global.params.useIn = 0;
        global.params.useOut = 0;
        global.params.useAssert = 0;
        global.params.useArrayBounds = 0;
        global.params.useSwitchError = 0;
    }

I think just adding this line inside the 'if' would do the trick:

    VersionCondition::addPredefinedGlobalIdent("release");

If not, it can't be much more complicated than that.
