The best part is that the documentation is actually a header file licensed under MIT.

This probably relates to MS adding clang support to Visual Studio.

Great, hopefully Walter's article about reverse-engineering it, people like Manu prodding the issue, and maybe even rants like mine helped finally effect this change:

Somebody should probably check the work Walter put in to reverse-engineer CV and add support to dmd.  Not Walter, since he won't look at outside code for legal reasons.
