I want to do some automated mass-editing of some source code in D. If there is such a library available that knows how to process D code, similar to std.json but for D, then I would like to use it.

I looked at libdparser, but the documentation makes it look like a nightmare. Only one example is provided, and it's rather complicated despite seemingly doing very little.

Are you kidding me?

Anyway, is there any library that can process a D source file and split it into pieces, similarly to std.json, but in a way that makes it easy to use for editing? I would want it to know to recognize things like the scope in which a symbol is declared (the function, class, enum, struct, etc).

Here are some things I would like to automate:

• Mass-editing an enum to give each member an alternative identifier.
• Looking for functions, and adding an overloaded version for each function declared with a certain argument type. I would make the format for how the overloaded definition will look.

Unfortunately there's no "edit" option here, but the library I was referring to is actually "libdparse".
