This is awesome. I've tried KDevelop recently and good D support 
might make me consider using it instead of Vim (especially if Vim 
mode improves further).

Is it viable, in longer-term future, to have features similar to 
what KDevelop
can do for C++? (semantic highlighting, esp. the color variation 
based on similarity of variable names, automatic creation of a 
stub of a nonexistent function based on a function call, etc.).
