D (or perhaps just me) makes extensive use of local functions. If the outer
function is at the leftmost tab level, it's easy to recognise if you're reading
the code from a local function or not. If the outer function is already a few
tab levels deep, I frequently find myself becoming unsure of what/where I'm
actually reading.

I don't know if this is an IDE feature or not, but I've often thought of adding a command to my editor (MicroEmacs) to collapse/expand function bodies. This would make it convenient to navigate larger files - just collapse, move to the function you want to examine, then expand. It would also mitigate the issue you have. I theorize that VS doesn't have such a feature? Maybe IDEs are solving the wrong problem? :-)

One that collapses out the comments would be great, too, as I've found one downside of Ddoc is it can get hard to find the code amongst the doc comments.
