          Issue ID: 23728
           Summary: Add `version(debug)`
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: qs.il.paperinik@gmail.com

Code controlled by `version(debug)` is compiled in when the `-debug` flag is
passed to the compiler.

Although `debug` is conditional compilation on its own, it also allows statements that would otherwise not be allowed, e.g. impure statements in `pure` functions, and `version(debug)` would have no special exceptions like that.
