I agree with Walter that you should throw this up on a page somewhere. 
I'm curious, but rarely have time to sift through sourcecode unless I'm 
in need of something specific - I develop using SVN 99% of the time, 
which does .diff output for me already.

But I *am* curious about how the porting went, what the pitfalls were, 
and how you worked around Python idioms and tuple types.  Also, I'm 
wondering if the D version brings any extra perks like better 
performance, or less/clearer code?
