Just out of curiosity, is there a rules document on the syntax, grammar 
and D language, I have been looking over the site to begin working on a 
lexer library but cant find it.

Reply to Hans,

the rule are scattered through the documentation. I have a sed script that 
will extract them (I think it will work on the official version but I have 
only done it with a patched version that has been merged into the trunk). 
By the way, there a several errors in the documentation. I'm (as time permits) 
working on fixing them but it's kind of low on my current priority list.

the sed script:

the bash script used to run it:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/dparser/cut_gram2
(you will need to modify it to fit your system)

Is there any reason you can't use one of the existing D lexers out there?
