I have not used vibe.d so far, so I had a short look at some example 
diet files: providing syntax highlighting should not be super difficult, 
maybe a nice project if you want to start contributing to Visual D ;-)

For intellisense that could work as you described, though it would 
probably be slightly more involved. The diet compiler seems to be part 
of dub, that would probably have to be integrated into Visual D.
