Morning D folks,
Implemented some new features concerning pre-compile time mixin
analysis and expression evaluation:

Nice. I'm not sure if this is what Dicebot suggested but would
it be possible to implement a compile time view, like Descent
had? It how showed template and string mixins are expanded. It
also showed how some language features are lowered to other
features, like the scope statement being lowered to
try/catch/finally.
This clip shows the compile time view in action:

Well, not displaying the entire module but only displaying
resolved expressions. Dunno how to do this in a proper way - only
via tooltips or also in an extra panel? Which would be the most
useful?
Btw, since I'm not that involved in D's magic I definitely
haven't planned such extensive pre-compilation :D
