Furthermore, to illustrate the similarities between -version and -debug ...

  module xyz;
  debug { import std.stdio; }
  void main()
  {
      debug { std.stdio.writefln("Starting"); }
  }
  ----------
  dmd -debug xyz.d

is identical in function to ...

  module xyz;
  version(debug) { import std.stdio; }
  void main()
  {
      version(debug) { std.stdio.writefln("Starting"); }
  }
  ----------
  dmd -version=debug xyz.d


So it could be said that "-debug" is sort of a shorthand for
"-version(debug)".
