I've attached a quick hacked Doxygen preprocessor that turns D into 
something a little closer to C++.  It removes contracts, puts a public: 
at the start of classes, fixes up templates, and replaces "}" with "};". 
  It's not well-tested and there'll be code it messes up on, and it is 
very, very slow.  All those problems will be fixed once I switch to a 
tokeniser.

I've also attached a Doxyfile that can be used as a base, little tweaks 
to get the output to behave better.

transforms delegates into function pointers (non-recursively, so a 
delegate which takes a delegate as an argument will still appear as a 
delegate, but that shouldn't modify documentation).  instance is now 
transformed into a typedef.  What's missing is:

- handling of debug and version statements.
- handling of public/private/protected/static blocks (as in "public { 
... }") and public/private/protected applied to single methods, which 
Doxygen doesn't handle for some reason.

What you said (below) suggests it may be some syntax
"desugarator", but I guess nobody uses D for the syntactical
differences alone. How about e.g. arrays (and strings)?

OTOH, that Doxygen file suggests something much more
powerful, I only don't get the big picture, I think I need some
more info.

Thanks,
Sab

Doxygen is a automatic documentation generator for C++ and other 
languages.  The preprocessor is to render the code into something that 
doxygen can make more sense of, so that it can generate more useful 
documentation.  It has nothing to do with making the syntax more 
C++-like for coding purpose.

Ah, I see, thanks a lot! (I thought the preprocessor was
called Doxygen... :) )
