Nope, the dmd compiler will highlight code between `` in its 
outputted error messages. dmd already knows how to lex D code 
(obviously) and even has a highlighter for ddoc, so it just pipes 
it through that existing function.

Not all error messages had the `` around its code though. That's 
what Mike did in most his PRs.
