dfmt is available along witj DCD and other D tools in Visual 
Studio Code. Its all package in the code-d package. dfmt formats 
D code good enough for the common cases as I don't do much CTFE 
or cryptic D coding style.


VS Code is slow though. Its built with electron (html,  css,  
Javascript) and uses a lot of cpu and ram.
