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.

Is there a use case that this would support that is not possible with the existing semantics? I have a hard time finding the usefulness of this addition.

Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if you can provide a compelling use case.
