digitalmars.D - version syntax

Hi..

Just a thought:

wouldn't "version |= featureA; version |= featureB;" make more sense than 
"version=featureA; version=featureB;" ?
(basically, version should behave as a set, but D doesn't have a basic set 
type, or does it?).

That's all.

VersionSpecification is a syntactical form in its own right, so any syntactical changes wouldn't depend on the invention of a set type. But if D did have a set type, I can imagine that one would want version assignments to follow the same form. Only trouble: what would happen to the version = Integer form? Stewart.

I guess one could use bit[] for a set?
