The following commandline is not accepted by DMD

dmd -version=_UNICHAR_FAST_ unichar.d

The error message is:
"Error: unrecognized switch '-version=_UNICHAR_FAST_'"

But the commandline help lists the following switch:
"-version=ident compile in version code identified by ident"

So either the switch is not documented correctly or it is not parsed right.

For some reason, the leading underscore is throwing it off. Otherwise, over
here the behavior is reasonable.

Ah. You're right, it does work without the underscore. Thanks.

So it really seems to be a bug in the commandline parsing.

True, but also leading _ on identifiers are reserved in D.

"Identifiers starting with __ (two underscores) are reserved."
A single leading underscore should work  :P
