Sorry, I'm rather ignorant when it comes to this, but why
can't we use
[pegged](https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged) to

std library and so many other things could get easier, like
getting legacy code to use Dlang. It might not be worth it for
C+17 and beyond, but older codebases could benefit
significantly, right?
This is article is about transpiling old C++ to newer C++, but
the same problem applies with translating C++ to D:
