In fact I considered writing such a preprocessor as a running example...
Please someone could show a little example of the quote above? I
mean it would act like C preprocessor or in D it has another
meaning?
As simple as it gets. The program would translate files with extension
".wsd" into files with extension ".d" and run dmd (or rdmd)
transparently. Appropriate handling of file timestamps etc. would
complete a nice utility. You'd use it like
wsd myscript.wsd
which under the hood would create (if necessary) myscript.d and then
exec rdmd on it.
