Thanks for the syntax tip!

That won't produce the same output (eg large functions tend to be 
stripped currently), but I guess the current behavior is 
relatively useless so it's fine.

If we want to embed the AST inside an "import" library file 
(which is optional, could be done with a directory), wouldn't it 
be possible to store the AST as a global / static variable? When 
dmd compiles myfun.d, it generates the AST and inserts a global 
variable (eg void*_ast_myfun=...) in the data segment of the 
library/object file (that could be done with a mixin and be 
portable).

just started a new thread for related ideas:
