D compiler front end in Phobos (was: syntax definition language)

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

If you have a generic compile-time parser, you can use it to parse
your favorite language at compile-time and generate necessary D code
for it.
Example:
You have a .sql file with a very large and complicated query,
involving tons of joins.
You parse the .sql file at compile-time and generate respective api
calls for your favorite database system, making it statically known,
precompiled and extremely fast.
