Is anyone working on a D source code formatting tool?

clang-format seems to do a pretty good job with both of these. Comments 
seem to be intact unless they're too long, then they're wrapped. It 
seems to wrap at a space or other non-identifier character. Same thing 
with expressions that are too long.

You should download it [1] a give it a try on some C++ code.
