Yes, exactly correct. It does not replace gtkD (yet). I began
by working with girtod and an unreleased version of gtkD for
Gtk4 and spent months trying to improve it. I eventually
abandoned the effort and decided it would be easiest to start
from scratch on a new binding utility, which is now gidgen
(after about a year of work in my spare time). It is much more
advanced than girtod and requires less manual binding work. The
intention is to automate as much as possible. Most of the
manual effort is to fix issues with the underlying GIR API
descriptions, in the form of XML patch commands embedded as
comments in D source definition files.

quite a cool project and efforts. out of curiosity, what went
wrong when you "eventually abandoned trying to improve gtkD for
GTK4"?
