I'll consider that as a D grammar question, and not a Pegged-specific
question, since Pegged just uses a copy of the D site grammar :-)

As to this specific question, my answer is halas: I don't know. I find
parts of the D grammar a bit complicated for my taste (with 200
different rules, it's the most complicated programming language
grammar I know of). I'll let some grammar specialist answers there
(there are a few around these parts). I know some people have a
cleaned-up, alternate grammar, but I can't remember the link.
