Bug 12147 – Any bitfield with member named "version" will fail to compile

If the member of any bitfield is named "version", then the compilation fails. Example: import std.bitmanip; struct S { mixin(bitfields!(uint, "version", 8)); } Compilation error: /d944/f401.d(5): Error: no identifier for declarator uint /d944/f401.d(5): Error: semicolon expected, not 'version' /d944/f401.d(5): Error: identifier or integer expected, not ) /d944/f401.d(5): Error: found 'pure' when expecting ')' /d944/f401.d(5): Error: Declaration expected, not 'return' /d944/f401.d(6): Error: no identifier for declarator void /d944/f401.d(6): Error: semicolon expected, not 'version'

"version" is a reserved keyword in D. Since std.bitmanip will declare properties for each bitfield, they must be valid D identifiers, and thus cannot be reserved keywords.
