A modern standard could be added. Things such as dynamic modules (dll/so)

version(MODERN)

I could possibly do one for sockets, I have been planning on doing it for
some time.

 What happens in 10 years time? Will modern still be modern?


Call it millenium standard. :) Don't worry, almost everything called 
"millenuim" would be vastly outdated by the time the issue actually 
raises up.
