I have seen it, and it looks good. But there are reasons why the DMD
front-end is in C++, I think Walter has explained why on occasion
before, but it basically boils down to: its easier for other compiler
developers to understand + integrate with C++ code when building the
compiler back-end than if they had to interface with D code.
