I understand. If I could, I'd kindly discourage you from working on it.
Its existence would stifle the impetus to work on general lexing and
parsing frameworks (a la highly integrated lex/yacc using D's
generational capabilities). Those in turn would push the compiler
forward and would help fixing bugs, and would offer the proverbial
fishing rod (tools for parsing any language) instead of fish (a lexer
and a parser for D itself).

What is std.lang.d.lex?
It's the D lexer for Phobos that Walter wanted written. He wanted someone to
port the compiler's C++ frontend's lexer to D. I volunteered to do it.

I've slowly been working on it, but I'm a ways from being done.
