I usually feel the same, but that would require me modify the editor.
I've many times thought about create a plugin which uses a proper lexer
and parser but it's a lot of work for something that doesn't have a
plugin API.
Also, GitHub is using the TextMate grammar to do syntax highlighting for
D. If TextMate used a plugin for this instead, there would most likely
be no one maintaining the the grammar GitHub is using.
