Because the runtime is not written in D. :) However, it should be easy to translate version=noboundscheck to -noboundscheck.

That seems like an unimportant technicality, isn't it?

Couldn't we define version=noboundscheck when noboundscheck is used?

Why use version(D_NoBoundsChecks) instead of version(noboundscheck) ?

It is there! :) (I haven't test it though.)
