The compiler lexer can be of arbitrary complexity, because it's
already written. If you write a compiler, you just grab the ready
lexer and use it, you don't need to count lines. The problem is with
other, non-compiler tools.
I have no idea what your point is. Lexer complexity matters for every
tool that needs to lex D code.
Not if we have libdmdlexer that they can reuse... ;-)
Some tools can't require D due to project limitations.
