That would be horribly painful as well. Since DMD is not made to be used 
as a library. It really does not fit.

The MonoDevelop parser will have the same problem as the one for 
Descent. Either it's a port of DMD and needs to play catch up all the 
time. Or it's a completely new parser that will, most likely, not have 
the same behavior as the compiler. A new parser would also need to play 
catch up with DMD.
