Seems like you have encouraged people to avoid using ‘version’ 
and inventing their own schemes. So you got a many different 
chaotic expressions of versioning instead of a singular one. How 
is this easier for library users to deal with?

Ideally the language versioning expressions should be the same as 
the package manager uses.

(There is nothing wrong with having operators for I/O and ranges, 
D would be better if it did provide such.)
