Sorry, but I highly doubt that you can get a "normal 
autocompletion" for D within 3 hours.
D's "state of the art" DCD struggles a lot with autocompletion as 
it only has an AST and no semantic analysis.
Fixing this by e.g. using DMD's frontend is way beyond 3 hours of 
work.

Though of course, DCD works well for many cases already.

BTW I quickly skimmed your linked issue and it seems that Geany 
already supports autocompletion for plugins, just not re-using 
the naive default completion.
