digitalmars.D - Generating class hierarchy diagrams.

Hello everyone. I got into my head the idea of generating class hierarchy diagrams from the information available from D's reflection capabilities. After asking around for a little bit of assistance in IRC (IRC people are great!) and a bit of programming, I have produced something tangible. I have uploaded it all here: https://github.com/w0rp/dhier The repository contains an example file with an example output PNG. For the moment, this just generates a DOT language description of the class hierarchies in a graph. The idea is that you create a HierarchyInfo object, toss in a few ModuleInfo or ClassInfo objects, write it to something like stdout, chuck it through Graphviz, and you get a hopefully nice looking diagram. Hopefully, this might be useful to somebody. It would be really nice if there was some good way to integrate this into something like Visual D. (Which someone in IRC suggested.)
