Permitted locations of a version condition

Hello, I looked over the language specification, and I could not find any
statement which says where version conditions are permitted. I assumed
that they would be permitted most places that #if would be reasonable in
C, but evidently that is not true as they do not work within enumerations.
I would definitely like the following code to work.
enum Tag
{
A, B, C,
version (5) {
D, E,
}
version (7) {
F, G,
}
// ...
}
Added enumerated values based on versions seems like something that would
be desirable. I ran into this need when converting a header file to D.
Does anyone know where version conditions are and are not allowed
currently?
Would version conditions within enumerations be a good feature to add to
D2?
If people like the idea, but the implementation is prevented due to
manpower issues, I can possibly try to implement it if you give me a
pointer on potential issues and where to look within the source code.
