This is an attempt to overhaul the D snippets I got merged to 
UltiSnips (now a separate "vim-snippets" repository), as the 
previous snippets had quite a few bugs. The snippets should 
now be easy to use together/chain (e.g. an "imp" (import) 
snippet places the cursor on the beginning of the next line so 
"imp" can be used for another import, "wrap in try/catch" 
places the cursor to be ready to add more catch blocks, 
"module" license can be replaced by using another snippet 
inside it, etc.


There are some rather "intelligent" snippets, e.g. an operator 
builder for opBinary/opUnary/opOpAssign that will generate the 
skeleton for all operators typed in by the user, automatic 
DDoc Params: generation from function parameters, etc.


I want to eventually try to merge this back to the default 
repository, but I'd like some comments/criticism/ideas first. 
Should any snippets be removed? Added? Any problems with the 
current snippets? (the wrap in try/catch in the previous 
version had issues with wrapping indented text, for example)


Trying this out now. It's very good so far, nice work!

I made a blog post about DSnips, what to consider when designing 
snippets, etc:

This looks great! A lot better than my non-pythonized snippets :)

I'll try it out.  Of course, I'm really bad at using the current D 
snippets (aside from `main`--use that one all the time).  Those opBinary 
and friends snippets look quite useful.
