Re: Does the grammar allow an alias statement without a semicolon?
Thank you both. That DGrammar project has some different names for the nonterminals in its grammar, and a different arrangement, but it confirms there should be a semicolon with any alias statement. I'm just trying to parse D when I read it myself so far, and figure out how the grammar works a little. I'm not trying to write a parser for it, at least not yet.
