the only valid IMO use case for header files is for linking libs - the compiler can handle just find binary formats for that.
I was originally going to go with a binary format for that - but it turned out to be pointless. dmd is so fast at parsing, there simply was no advantage to replacing the text file parser with a binary file parser.
If you consider the .di file as a "binary format", I think you'll find it fulfills all the purposes of it, as well as being human readable without needing a pretty-printer.
