Generally, the best tools come from people who make them to please themselves, not from people who make them to someone else's spec. I suspect you'd make a very good refactoring tool.

Not without a powerful semantic analysis library I wouldn't.

Other's have spent years now on semantic analysis libraries trying to duplicate the understanding of the code that DMD must already have while compiling.
