dmdtags 1.0.0: an accurate tag generator for D source code

[Paul Backus]

`dmdtags` is a tags file generator for D source code that uses 
the DMD compiler frontend for accurate parsing.

This release supports 100%-accurate parsing of arbitrary D code 
(tested on DMD and Phobos sources), as well as the most 
commonly-used command line options, `-R`, `-o`, and `-a`. The 
generated tags file has been tested for compatibility with Vim 
and is compliant with the [POSIX standard for `ctags`][posix], so 
any editor with `ctags` support should be able to use it.

### What?

A _tags file_ is a lightweight plain-text index of the symbols in 
a project. Editors that support tags files, such as Vim and 
Emacs, can use this index to help with things like project 
navigation and tab completion.

A _tags file generator_ is, as you might expect, a program that 
reads source code and generates a tags file with entries for the 
symbols in that code.

### Why?

[`universal-ctags`][uctags], the current most-popular and 
best-maintained tags file generator, claims support for many 
programming languages, including D. However, its D parser is not 
well-maintained, and it often excludes large numbers of symbols 
from its output due to parsing failures.

Because `dmdtags` uses the DMD frontend for parsing, its results 
will always be accurate and up-to-date. For pure D projects, it 
can be used as a replacement for `universal-ctags`. For 
mixed-language projects, it can be used together with other tag 
generators with the `--append` option.
