Hi,

What's the situation with `static foreach` on gdc? When I install 
it using install.sh from https://dlang.org/install.html, I get 
4.8.5, which does not support `static foreach`. That is also the 
version that is installed on travis-ci.org.

4.8.5 won't get you far, you should at least use GCC-9.2.0 which 
include the 2.076.0 frontend plus a lot of backports.

Yes for both points.

How comes `install.sh gdc` does not fetch a more recent version? 
This is probably what travis-ci.org uses as well.

On ubuntu 18.04 the latest available gdc is gdc-8. At least that 
one has __traits(getParameterStorageClasses, ...)` and it can 
compile my openmethods library if I use a workaround for the 
absence of `static foreach`.

You can try compiling this version from source:

It is a WIP targeting gcc 10.  Didn't make it; I found it, and 
then it disappeared.  Once GCC 10 proper comes out, use that.
