Also, I really miss a D for D lexical- syntactic- semantic- analyser
that
would produce D data structures. This would open the door hoards of
projects, including tool chain elements, meta-studies on D, improvements
of these basic tools (efficiency, semantis analysis), decelopment of
back-ends (including studies on compiler optimisation specific to D's
semantics), etc.
Even more important, the whole cummunity, which is imo rather
high-level,
would be able to take part to such challenges, in their favorite
language.
Isn't is ironic D depends so much on C++, while many programmers come
to D
fed up with this language, presicely?

Definitely a good thing, and more! :-) Thank your for the pointer, Nick.
I will skim across the project as soon as I have some hours free. And
see if --with my very limited competence in the domain-- I can
contribute in any way.
I have an idea for a side-feature if I can understand the produced AST:
generate Types as D data structures on request (--meta), write them into
a plain D module to be imported on need. A major aspect, I guess, of the
'meta' namespace discussed on this list.

Currently it doesn't compile on Posix, and never has as far as I know.
That's one thing you can help with if you want to. Don't know the status
on Windows
