I just have to say that string mixins rock

That's part of why I started it. I was getting all ready to write a parser and 
then figured out that I didn't need it. I was itching to write one and didn't 
have one to write. So, I started on the D lexer, and I've ended up spending 
time on it when I really should have been working on other projects (like the 
h.264 header editor that I've been working on in order to generate test cases 
for the C++ h.264 header parser that I maintain at work). I've had to put the 
lexer down for a few days, but I expect that I'll be back to it soon enough, 
and it's already quite far along. It's going surprisingly quickly.
