How much of safeD is formalizable? Is there anything in it that is hoplessly impractical to create formal semantics for?

I don't know, as I don't know how to write 'formal' semantics in english. Some help from someone who does would be appreciated.

I think it should be formalizable. The proofs would be very long for the whole thing, but a representative subset should be fine.

And that's just the grammer. BTW, at one point I posted a reference graph for the D grammer. It was much worse <G>
