You're welcome to provide the according grammar, so that the parser can 
be updated accordingly. Then we should agree about the usage of the new 
items, so that the generators can be updated.

This depends...

D2009 has more extensions to the grammar (local types...), for which a 
grammar is required. PasDoc2 already has provisions to handle such 
extensions, but any implementation deserves a grammar in the first 
place, followed by a decision about the representation of the added 
elements.
