I try to use DCD when working with Emacs for D code, but I keep
forgetting to start the server :-( I would certainly be happy to commit
to using dfmt just as I use gofmt in Emacs. As long as the variation
from my preferred style is not to much I can live with a "One True
Style" (*).

There ought to be for the compiler/formatter toolchain otherwise there
will be problems. And if there is a D parser as library and it works why
would anyone want another parser?



(*) The exception is of course Phobos style which I find so annoying I
can't read code formatted that way.
