version(number) is completely useless

Unfortunately as you know people don't care about what you 
discourage or encourage. People just try to express their intent 
using those language structs that are the best for their needs 
and nothing prevents them from writing this right now:

```d
static if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER > 600) && 
!defined(__INTERIX))
{
   static if(defined(_WIN32_WCE))
      alias fdopen = (fd,mode) {}; /* No fdopen() */
   else
      alias fdopen = _fdopen;
}
```

(I took this example from 
[zlib](https://github.com/madler/zlib/blob/master/zutil.h#L177))
