digitalmars.D - D Grammar in BNF Text Form?

Can anyone point me to a text version of the D grammar in some kind of
BNF or EBNF format?  The D lang web site's info is close, but it's
buried in html which I'ld rather not have to wrestle with.

My purpose is to attempt to write a D language parser in Perl using
Damian Conway's Regex::Grammars module (on CPAN).

Thanks.

Best regards,

The file there named 'D.g4' seems to be almost exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks, Brian!

Best,

P.S.  My work on the Perl parser (and BRL-CAD D bindings) can be seen
