Am using Textadept, the highlighting is as follows:
highlighted as keyword:
this()
__traits
extern(C) // The "extern"; "C" isn't highlighted at all
highlighted as a special recognized built-in symbol, similar to
__LINE__:
version(OSX) // the OSX; "version" is highlighted as keyword
not highlighted at all:
__ctfe
