I agree, automatic generation of the grammar rules would be incredibly
useful for D tools. It doesn't necessarily have to be in a

format for whatever we are doing. We are programmers after all.
I think being up-to-date is becoming less of a matter now that the language
is stable. Changes in syntax are already very rare.

True, in that case we need to make sure we actually have a completely
up to date grammar for the language somewhere then. All in one place.

Visual D's parser would be a good place to start, I suppose.
