Cool, don't think that was available in Qt 4.6 and Qt Creator 1.3...

http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/09/16/generic-highlighter-in-qt-creator/

But for Qt 4.7 it could be an option, if sufficiently advanced for D2 ?

There is also http://srchiliteqt.sourceforge.net/ available under GPL.

You should push it to gitorious.org, like I will do with my own hacks.

I don't have the time to do it, so someone will need to pick it up...

I just wanted to get it all started, as an alternative for using QtD.

Don't think I will look at it again until DMD (or better yet GDC/LDC)
supports 64-bit and D2, to avoiding needing a 32-bit chroot for it...

Otherwise I could be just as well be using wxWidgets and Code::Blocks.

I'm sure that neither will be "enough", since they are written in C++,
but should fill the gaping hole for now... D *needs* a GUI and an IDE.
