Adding D Editor Support

[John A. De Goes]

Thanks for the friendly reply. Looks like I caught people on a bad day. :-)

I have identified all the basic constructs, but wonder if I may be missing some things. For example, in Java, the following idioms are quite common (the first two, in concurrent programming):

synchronized (object) {
    object.notifyAll();
}

synchronized (object) {
    while (!condition) {
        try {
            object.wait();
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e) {
            break;
        }
    }
}

new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
}

These among many others. But I lack the familiarity with D to make such judgements. I was hoping regular D programmers had some oft-used favorites they could throw in.

Regards,

John
