I've just had the case where LDC (based on 2.070.2) did not 
compile code based on Phobos 2.071.1, which is nothing unusual of 
course. Only it would have been nice, if the function 
`std.algorithm.maxPos` had had the info "since 2.071.0" attached 
to it. How am I supposed to know that `maxPos` is new while 
`minPos` was already available in 2.070.0. It'd make things a bit 
smoother, especially because not all compilers use the same 
version of Phobos.
