I put the files in a dir and told that under the JSON edit box in 
properties in visual D/studio and eventually it seems that 
intelligent started working. (it didn't work at first but after a 
few hours I noticed that I was getting intellisense, not sure if 
that is what did it or something else I might have fiddled with).

How does Visual D use those files? Does the file name have 
anything to do with it or does it just load any files inside the 
dir and then search the json for a match?

The reason I ask is so I can add other intellisense libraries to 
it in the future and maybe be a bit more happier with visual D :)
