Writing a generic lexer is a different problem. It's also one that

Do you have any evidence to back that up? I mean you're just saying it.

I think it can be as fast if the lexer is compile time created. I'd also
argue that it is better to have a D lexer ASAP, even if it isn't as
configurable as it could be.
Better something now that something better later. We can make it better
later anyway.
