that's ok, if it works great, if not, oh well.
at least it executes ;-)

e.g clang etc won't even execute on xp.

Yes, **do** your own testing, as my concept of testing is at 
best, dodgy...

i.e. I just grabbed all my .d files off FreeBSD 11, put them on 
FreeBSD 12, and executed this: for f in *.d; do echo $f;dmd $f; 
done
