Integrating DCD might work well, because autocompletion is used 
sporadically (and is invoked explicitly by the user). But parsing is 
probably invoked quite often by IntelliJ, and as such it could be tricky 
to integrate with libdparse (because you'd have to invoke an external 
process all the time)
