Add support for the D Programming Language

[andre2007]

Could you also support D?
The generic hightlight engine looks odd.

• Comments /+ are not detected
• Function names are highlighted instead of keywords

not before v3.1 or v3.2.

btw. c/c++ highlighting should work (excluding keywords)

[andre2007]

C/c++ unfortunately only works in theory. D supports in addition to /* */ also /+ +/, which allows nested comments and is also used for instructions for the D package manager (Dub).
All of my samples begins with these package manager instructions and they are rendered as normal code which just looks bad.

This is an example how it should look like

/+ dub.sdl:
    name "application"
    dependency "vibe-d" version="~>0.8.4"
    dependency "vibe-d:tls" version="*"
    subConfiguration "vibe-d:tls" "none"
+/

import vibe.vibe;

void main()
{
    listenHTTP(":5000", &handleRequest);
    runApplication();
}

void handleRequest(HTTPServerRequest req, HTTPServerResponse res)
{
    if (req.path == "/")
        res.writeBody("Hello, World!");
}

If you say 3.1 or 3.2, what does this means in weeks/months?

6 month ++

EnlighterJS v3.0.0 and the WordPress plugin v4 have a much higher priority for now....sry

in case c++ works (with the exception of comments...i can create a simple addon by extending the c++ language definition with the /+ comment style)

creating a complete new support file takes a few hours/days...
