Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a few days, in a Net-forsaken place ;)

If ddmd-clean is OK for you, that's cool. Keep us informed how that went.
If you want to use Pegged, you'd need to enter the entire D grammar to
get a correct parse tree.
I just finished writing it, but I'm afraid to try and compile it :)
It's one huge monster.
