Use the source, Luke! [1]

Because, as you say, version is a keyword, it will not compile 
when used as an identifier. As such, Derelict cannot use it, so 
you don't need to circumvent the issue since DerelictSDL2 already 
has done it for you. You just need to use the correct identifier:

SDL_VERSION(&info.version_);

When using Derelict, in any circumstance where you run into an 
identifier from a C library that is the same as a D keyword, just 
append an underscore to it. It's possible there may be remnants 
of older versions of Derelict where I didn't adhere to that 
pattern. If you ever encounter such, please file an issue. I want 
to be consistent with this.
