A few questions.
How hard would the following be:
1. Highlight code as dead or alive in static if
2. Show typeid when hovering over a variable
I have gifs showing what I mean. I'll post them when I get
back to my laptop.

One GIF is the behaviour in C# I would like to have in D as
well with static if, and the other is displaying typeid on
hover.
It already does this, I would say.
1. The D equivalent of your use of `#if ... #else ... #endif` is
`version() {...} else {...}`, which works in VisualD the same way
as you show. `static if` is different: the condition often
depends on the value of template parameters, so this does not
simply translate to "dead" or "alive" in every case.
2. typeid is a runtime concept (takes inheritance into account)
so this won't work in an editor outside of a debugging session.
However VisualD already shows the (static) type and scope of
variables on mouse-over, which is all you can wish for, I think.
