I'm not using tons of advanced features of D and it makes no difference for me.

Language features added to DMD after release 1.000 will not work when using
that switch.

Except they do work?  This compiles on DMD 1.007 with -v1 (as the only flag)
without error:

void main() { mixin(`int foo;`); } //mixin declarations are definitely post-1.0

I suppose it's only for features that break backward compatibility.  It 
enables implicit conversion from objects to void pointers.  That's all I 
know that it does as of 1.007.

If you need older (pre 'D spec 1') features to work, -d will enable some 
of them.  Implicit conversion from arrays to pointers comes to mind.

Strikes me as a bug.  It would seem to me that the _whole point_ of it is to
enable programmers to explicitly target 1.0.  That is, at least in theory, they
can release code and make a valid statement that it will work in DMD 1.00, and
D 1.0 compilers in general.
