D - [BUG?] D reporting the wrong line number

With a particular file (sorry I can't send it), D reports the wrong line 
number. I looked in a different program to discover the problem.  D 
counts a ASCII 13 followed by 10 as an enter.  Some editors also treat 
just ASCII 10 as an enter.  I don't know if this is a problem to fix in 
D or the editor (DIDE), but I think it would help prevent newbie 
problems if 10 by-it-self was treated as an enter (and parhaps 13) by 
the compiler.

pretty easy to fix (I mean by the time you wrote the bug report, you 
could have fixed it). I also noticed that // comments where treated as 
separate lines when it was char 10, so it's reading the lines properly, 
just not remembering them for debug output.
