You make the json with dmd -X yourfile.d yourotherfiles.d

Then run the json through the thingy with ./dtoh yourfile.json

It'll make .h files for the extern(C) and extern(C++) pieces of 
the D files which should work to bring it into your other project.



What I really want it someone to try it in a vaguely real-world 
situation and see if it is helpful but could be better, too 
limited to be useful, or buggy or what. There's some things I 
think could be done better if dmd output more information, but I 
think this is somewhat useful as it is now and just needs some 
kind of serious test beyond my proof of concept file.

That's what I was hoping it could be pulled, with the note that 
it is super experimental, so maybe people will try to use it and 
file some bugs as to what really sucks. The whole approach might 
need to be abandoned in favor of a new dmd switch or something 
too. That's also why the style doesn't match and stuff like that; 
if it needs a rewrite anyway, no point getting worked up over 
brace placement. (It did need to be mostly rewritten a few months 
ago because dmd changed the json output!)
