I could modify the addin definition - so yes, let's try to do
this.

A solution would be to let the indent engine run through the
entire code and catch the indents of each line..but well, I'll
rather finish my AST visitor, then I can continue with putting a
real formatting engine upon it.

C# can interface C dlls. One problem: The huge code base written
in C# and C dlls. The single fact that a huge bunch of
cross-compilation problems etc will stop me even trying to
implement even one e.g. completion feature.
I mean, I'm not the one who sets up a cross-compilation
environment that compiles and packages all the code to a bunch of
binaries. I've chosen C# just _because_ I can distribute it on
all plattforms w/o having to recompile it. Btw, I think there's
no real performance boost when switching to a native code base.
So even a rough effort vs. productivity gain analysis would
clearly speak pro C#. I know that a virtual in-D implementation
of the D language would be great, but well, if you want to start,
I can try to support you ;)

Will be fixed in the next version.

Fixed.
