BNF grammar for D?

[Jeremy Powers via Digitalmars-d]

This looks eerily familiar...

I took a stab at an Intellij plugin a long time ago, and happened to pick
the same name:

https://github.com/elendel-/intelliD

Been meaning to pick back up again, but haven't had the chance... was
waiting for the Eclipse plugin code to mature, then got distracted.  Feel
free to take anything that looks useful.


Brian Schott (Hackerpilot) has done a lot of useful work grammar wise.  See:

https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DGrammar

An interesting path to take for an intellij plugin would be to use his
DCD/libdparse for all the heavy lifting, with the plugin just farming out
the work to external daemon process(es).  That would avoid having yet
another lexer/parser implementation to keep up to date.
