Hello,

Transcribing it here because not everyone may see it.
From the PR https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11509:

me:

wilzbach:

So, what's your point of view, guys ?

Stick to dmd style.

If ldc or gdc wish to offer another style they may.

I'd opt for the compact DMD-style too. LDC already has such a flag (--dwarf-version=N).
