Walter Bright has a rather dim view of #if and friends in C/C++ given how
often he's seen them abused, which is why version and static if are more
restricted in D - in particular, it's why version won't take a boolean
expression. And while some folks get really annoyed about having to
duplicate code for different versions, he seems to be of the opinion that
that's the right way to do it and that the C/C++ way is incredibly
error-prone. Personally, I'd say that this particular use case probably
would be fine, but it would complicate how static if works, so I suspect
that he'd be against it.
