Not yet, unfortunately[1] :(  LALR(1) can admittedly be somewhat limiting, I 
need to take it to something like LALR(k) or GLR (I have another idea up my 
sleeve, too...).

It is capable of tokenizing D though, and such a grammar for that is 
included (lang/dlex.grm). Although, until I add support for the GOLD v5 
features, nested comments have to be handled semi-manually - ie, go through 
the lexer's resulting token array, if you find a '/+' token then skip to the 
appropriately matching '+/' token. Should be easy, but of course it'd be 
better to not even have to bother.

I need to prioritize that stuff. That is the #1 most-asked question 
(...hmm...you'd think I'd have my #1 most asked question in the FAQ, but I 
don't ATM...)

[1] CS theory says that you probably could, but the resulting grammar 
wouldn't be very useful.
