… yet code is only to assume it is actually available if 
D_InlineAsm_x86 is defined?

I don't want to argue about the fact that there is certainly code 
out there which assumes inline x86 assembly to be available. My 
point was that this is _not_ like Jonathan's »auto a = 
expression« vs. »expression = a auto« example, because the 
language contains specific provisions for inline assembly not 
being available by having a standardized D_InlineAsm_x86 version 
identifier.
