Is this something in the middle of a hand written lexer and a lexer 
automatically generated?

I think we can have both. A hand written lexer, specifically targeted 
for D that is very fast. Then a more general lexer that can be used for 
many languages.

I have to say I think this is a bit unfair to dump this huge thing in 
the voting thread. You haven't made a single post in the discussion 
thread and now you're coming with this big suggestions in the voting thread.
