Hello,

Currently on the DDoc project (on dsource.org) which I am writing code 
for right now, I got struck on one specific problem. I have a question 
regarding colons and brackets (accolades).

If I specify code as the following it all goes OK:

-- code --

private:

public {

}

public:

package:

public static {

}

extern(C):

extern(Pascal) {

}

-- end code --

This can be translated into the following:

--- code ---

private {
     public {
     }
}
public {
}
package {
     public static {
     }
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}

--- end code ---

But I am not sure how D acts on the "version" statement. The following 
works quite well:

--- code ---

version(SomeVersion) {

     private:

     public {

     }

     public:

     package:

     public static {

     }

     extern(C):

     extern(Pascal) {

     }

}

--- end code ---

This translates to:

--- code ---

version(SomeVersion) {
     private {
         public {
         }
     }
     public {
     }
     package {
         public static {
         }
     }
     extern(C) {
     }
     extern(Pascal) {
     }
}

--- end code ---

But how should the following be translated?

--- code ---

version(SomeVersion):

private:

public {

}

public:

package:

public static {

}

extern(C):

extern(Pascal) {

}

--- end code ---

Should it translate as:

--- code ---

version(SomeVersion) {
     private {
         public {
         }
     }
     public {
     }
     package {
         public static {
         }
     }
     extern(C) {
     }
     extern(Pascal) {
     }
}

--- end code ---

or as:

--- code ---

version(SomeVersion) {
}
private {
     public {
     }
}
public {
}
package {
     public static {
     }
}
extern(C) {
}
extern(Pascal) {
}

--- end code ---

I don't know, but I've made the decision to only use braces in my code and
thus avoid any ambiguities or 'accidents'. Mixing colons and braces is just
asking for trouble, IMO.

Well it is for a general documentation tool. So even if I am at your 
side, others may not be...
