I imagine that trying to create an automated refactoring tool
for D is a bit like parsing HTML with regex.

A hypothetical dfix-tool has a diffrent scope compared to a
compiler.
Every sufficiently complex tranformation is very hard to do
automaticlly.
My goal is just to make simple tasks simple. I hope superficial
understanding of D's AST is enough for that.
