Ok, I don't really understand why, but even if that is a good 
reason then one could simply use long prefixes instead of 
directories:

parser_token.d
parser_lex.d
parser_parse.d

etc

I get that.

It would be nice if everyone just agreed on a common setup and 
tools then one could build a community around that with good 
tutorials, but I guess that is not very realistic.

For instance, when reading Mac tutorials, I find it very useful 
that they all use XCode. Even if there may be better editors, it 
really helps to have the same basic setup when getting started on 
something new.
