I've been sketching some grammar diagrams for D2.0, a little like those

I think I will take the plunge and base my diagrams on the source of
DMD. After looking at the code in lexer.c, it does not seem as far
beyond my rusty old c++ parsing skills as I had expected! Massive credit
to Walter for having a codebase that is as mature as DMD without it
turning into a labyrinth of preprocessor macros and cryptic "comefrom"s.
This will mean however that my little project may take a little longer,

Do share. I've always been too lazy to read lexer.c, and from this
discussion, it sounds like there are a few spots where my own lexer
grammar is incorrect (or at least differs from dmd).
of course ^^
