No. Really. I'm serious.

dfix is a tool for automatically upgrading older D syntax to the newer style.

* Updates old-style alias syntax to new-style
* Fixes implicit concatenation of string literals
* Automatic conversion of C-style array declarations and parameters to D-style.
* Upgrades code to comply with DIP64 if the --dip64 switch is specified. (You
  probably don't want to use this)
* Upgrades code to comply with DIP65 unless the --dip65=false switch is specified.

Awesome, would be nice if it was included with the default install for 2.067+

Cool! Is it idempotent if ran twice? -- Andrei

It should be. If you find a case where running dfix on the output of dfix causes a change, please file an issue on Github.

It says 0.1.x, maybe when it's over 0.5.x :).
In any case I'm really glad to see this moving forward.
