The wxWidgets developers maintain a hand-written set of doxygen
interface files because doxygen actually crashes when trying to parse
the C++ code directly.

As a result the documentation is frequently out of date. I remember
filing numerous patches to fix their docs (over 100 of them), it was
blatantly out of date[1].

We would have the same problem with D. Any time there were syntax
changes in D we would have to fix doxygen to be able to parse D code
again.

Anyway, maybe we can do something about ddoc and make it easier to
use. I'm just saying the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other
side.
