If there's going to be advanced validation, maybe it's better to create a formatting tool similar to gofmt. If passing a source file through it alters the file, it fails. The tool can be shared and could help establish a standard format for D code (or at least Phobos code).

I've never used gofmt, but did find the following link online:
