If dmd could produce inforamtion similar to the information created by the ctags utility then I think that would be a great improvement.

Currently there are several editors that rely on ctags for their language information (i.e. Emacs, Zeus, Vim, etc.) but unfortunately ctags does a poor job of supporting the D language.

If the compiler itself could produce tag information better than ctags then I think that would be a great improvement.

PS: For any one that might be intereseted here are the changes I made to ctags in an effort to better support the 1.x version of the D language:
