You'll be surprised - https://github.com/yebblies/magicport2 ;)

It won't fix the lexer/parser issue on its own as current DMD 
code that does it does not seem to be easily usable as a library. 
Though it will allow to switch compiler to imaginary 
std.d.lexer/std.d.parser to guarantee consistency.
