Is there a D parser written in D? - C strings kill me.
It's annoying to write one as long as the buffered input range with
infinite lookahead problem is not solved by the std library.
What do you need infinite lookahead for?
No need to discuss this in detail, but IMHO the main benefit of infinite
lookahead
is that it allows to build a generic parser for forward ranges.
If you have only input ranges you need to handle buffering within the
parser.
Of course it's opportune to simply read in a complete source file as
string given their
typically limited size. It also has the benefit of avoiding additional
string copying.
