No. In general, D should not be re-documenting APIs where the documentation 
exists elsewhere, because:

1. have to rewrite it because of copyright
2. such rewrites introduce errors and ambiguities
3. documentation always gets out of date
4. a user would be foolish to use re-documentation rather than the official 
documentation
5. our time is much better expended on more productive things.

It doesn't include API interfaces.

Thanks for asking before doing the work. I'd sure hate for you to expend a lot 
of effort on this only to have it rejected. We can't afford to waste effort like 
that.
