Hi there,

I just spent most of this weekend digging into the DMD compiler code and came up with a set of patches that might be of interest:

    http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4713

All started out with the attempt to create .di interface files for phobos2. The resulting .di files were too ugly to read and even DMD itself refused to eat them.

Trying to fix the problem, I started digging deeper and deeper. Finally, the bugs were fixed, the resulting .di files are now correctly indented and readable and the compiler code itself has even become a bit cleaner and more compact.

It would be good if these patches would find their way into DMD soon. The bulk of the changes are trivial but quite nonlocal, so merging will quickly become difficult...

Greetings,
Norbert
