Yep. I'd keep the DMD parser. (Just because I think writing 
parsers is a pain in the butt.)
But the rest is going to be an informed rewrite to avoid mistakes 
of the past.
(Which are reasonable since we didn't know what D would become 
back then.)

As I said previously I am already working on a prototype.
I am going to announce it as soon as it can compile more than a 
simple test.
