I wouldn't call it D. It looks like C, which smells like D. But the
point is good. It's possible to make a C facade to use a C back-end.

Not a compiler (we have 3), only a front-end. Preferably in D itself

Provided a good D front-end in D it'll be very easy to make a great
IDE, even if it's GUI is bad.
Preferably, at least one of, these compilers should use the front end
as well.
I don't see that happening: A D front end and a C++ backend. Perhaps
GCC
becomes the stadard D compiler and DMD is translated to D using that ;)
It is possible, have a look at DDMD:

I said "D frontend" and "C++ backend", not "D backend". And "one of these
[3] compilers" clearly referred to the C++ ones DMD, LDC and GDC. But the
point is, that a frontend exists, that compiles as D code and can be the
base for a library. Either for continued development on DDMD or an IDE or
other tools that need to understand D code, like a online source code
browser.
