We also can wait for the FPC parser/grammar, compatible with D2009.

I'd prefer to use the FPC parser immediately, as seems to be done in 
FPDoc, but I'm not sure where that parser resides, and how it can be 
used outside of FPC.

More extensions to the parser are required, new keywords like "generic" 
and the related syntax, etc.
