Well yeah... full doesn't exist[0].

If debug is turned on:

debug {

} else {

}

That else isn't for 'release'. Release turns on optimizations in the 
compiler and disables a few other things like asserts.

If you want to specify a version at the command line use 
``-version=MyVersion``. For a debug identifier use ``--debug=MyDebug`` 
and yes, debug conditions can have identifiers like versions require.

For dub you can specify it via ``versions`` and ``debugVersions``.
