So... how do you search for a function definition in D without
an IDE?
Running `dscanner --help` prints this:
--declaration | -d symbolName [sourceFiles sourceDirectories]
Find the location where symbolName is declared. This should
be more
accurate than "grep". Searches the given files and
directories, or the
current working directory if none are specified.

THIS!
I agree with Ary that grep hits a lot of false positives and all
the formatting tricks don't work with other people's code, plus
I've never liked IDES. Dscanner's D declaration finder has
become indispensable in the short time I've been using it, to the
point where I dread going back to searching for C declarations
and getting stuck with grep again.
