I try to use DCD when working with Emacs for D code, but I keep

That means that the Emacs plugin needs to start it automatically.
There ought to be for the compiler/formatter toolchain
otherwise there
will be problems. And if there is a D parser as library and it
works why
would anyone want another parser?
Implementing a separate parser based on the language spec has
helped to find problems with the language spec. Having "One True
Implementation" can lead to problems as well.

(*) The exception is of course Phobos style which I find so
annoying I
can't read code formatted that way.
By default dfmt tries to output Phobos style code. There is an
option to use a different brace style and another one to use tabs.
