It does the same thing! And yeah, by default the `.di` files will 
not always work because of D keywords or of some other weird 
translations like:

```
alias void foo_func_type(...)
```

The solution for this one is to change the order of things: name 
first and then the function type.
In general you have to clean the `.di` files.

Here are some things that I can control with my script (some 
options are not exposed in the CLI):

```d
struct ClonoaArgs {
     string compiler = defaultCompiler;
     string headerPath;
     string moduleName;
     string[] headerIncludes;
     string[] headerPrefixes;
     string[] opaqueStructs;
     bool removeRepeatedEnums;

     string moduleSymbolHeader = defaultModuleSymbolHeader;
     string indentation = defaultIndentation;
     string[string] typeMap;
     string[] typeSkipList;
     string[] funcSkipList;
     string[] lineSkipList;
}
```
