The next dmd update is getting the fruits of this.
So cool!
About the semicolon redundancy: it has been discussed a lot of times in
this newsgroup, but I started programming in ruby some time ago and I
can tell you I prefer to not type thousands of those redundant
semicolons to once in a while spend 5 or 10 seconds to understand that
the error the interpreter is talking about is about a misinterpretation
of what I wrote. Note that this "once in a while" might have happened
two or three times in about seven months of work. I prefer not to type
those many semicolons and parenthesis. :-)
And
3. scan till a ; is found
can be replaced with
3. scan (in a smart way) till a line end is found
