Well, that's the problem. It's not like DMD has a single "lex" function 
that does all the job.

Would it perhaps be possible to time Parser::parseModule and remove all 
things that doesn't seem related to lexing?

Remove stuff like:

a = new Identifiers();
md = new ModuleDeclaration(a, id, safe);

And similar.
