That would be a start as well as a necessary step in getting a extractor working (to test the tools output against), but if the docs and the parser are maintained separately, the docs will be wrong sooner rather than later.
I think that's very unlikely to be true. The existing errors in the grammer have formed during the long development of the language, and the grammer docs never really got much attention. Now that the language has stabilised, the grammer is not going to change rapidly enough to be major source of errors. The effort involved in making a tool to do it, probably exceeds the effort involved in just fixing it, by a factor of five or ten. There are many other things which could be done which would FAR more useful for D.
