I'm a little concerned about the current state of the generated JSON

relying on it need to be changed. Visual D for example doesn't find
any line number info or type anymore because of a different
structure, other fields are renamed. (Unrelated to the format, but it
also seems to cause crashes easily, though I'm not sure yet if this
is a problem with the size, the compiler or the precise GC.)
It would be unpleasant if it changes considerably in the next version
again.
I agree it blows. Since you're one of the few users of it, care to
take a shot at fixing it?
I'm not sure I'm the right person to do this, because I don't know what
the changes were aiming at. There's a lot more stuff in the JSON file
now than the declarations needed for browsing the source.
