...like reimplementing the whole DMDFE for nothing. this tool 
would be useless without full-featured template and CTFE support 
(as most mixins comes from there), so say "hello" to template 
engine, semantic analyser, and CTFE engine (wow!). and then 
you'll probably won't get valid D code again, 'cause for CTFE it 
is easier to lower it to "impossible" AST (like current DMDFE 
does).

btw, it's not hard to print resulting AST in dmd, but at this 
stage it is not valid D code -- and for a reason.
