Definitely a good thing, and more! :-) Thank your for the pointer, Nick.
I will skim across the project as soon as I have some hours free. And see if 
--with my very limited competence in the domain-- I can contribute in any way.
I have an idea for a side-feature if I can understand the produced AST: 
generate Types as D data structures on request (--meta), write them into a 
plain D module to be imported on need. A major aspect, I guess, of the 'meta' 
namespace discussed on this list.
