Complete D grammar

[Rainer Schuetze]

Having written a D2 parser a few month ago in the hope it will be 
helpful to Visual D (just finds it way into the plugin right now), I've 
noticed quite some inaccuracies in the "official" grammar on the 
website. Some of these are probably already in bugzilla, some of them 
might be personal taste and should be discussed, though.

I've set up a comparison with some notes here:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/GrammarComparison

The parser was written manually, so the proposed grammar was not 
directly used to generate the parser and might still contain errors.

I've extracted the website grammar using some combination of scripts 
from the ddoc sources, so if there is interest, I can dig them up...
