Uncrustify[1] had a release on the first of this month which I'm 
sure includes the fix I made to the parser to recognize the => 
lamba syntax. It may be easier to just use that instead of making 
our own. (I haven't tested to see what it does with user-defined 
attributes yet)

On the other hand, if we need a utility written in D, I'd like to 
finish work on my lexer so that it can be phobos-quality first.
