`__VERSION__` is the corresponding DMD version even with LDC. 
Which also is useful, but not what I was looking for in this case.

LDC_VERSION probably what you want

D compilers don't expose their version, only the major+minor 
frontend version ('D version') as `__VERSION__`. The LDC minor 
version can be derived from that.
