automated way to fix old code ;-)
I said that I wouldn't write dfix until Walter was willing to
start getting rid of old syntax. Not long after that Walter
made this

dfix is under development. You can find it here:

This is great news. Even if it's not going to be packaged with
the official compiler releases, perhaps you can start off by
making it available on dub for any breaking syntax changes in
dmd, such as ditching the old C-style array declaration syntax,
so we can point users who hit it at dfix.
As for moving function attributes from the left to the right, I'm
all for it. I was frequently confused by what applied to what
and picking through and figuring it out was unnecessary mental
overhead.
