It does not, but it does have a mechanism to have a somewhat limited
subset of D code be evaluated at compile time (which is actually far
more powerful than a preprocessor)
It also has an explicit mechanism for conditional compilation, which
would apply here; https://dlang.org/spec/version.html has the details on
how that works.
