is a simple tool that translates source code from Oberon to D.

It was intended to be thrown away after the resurrection of a 
single Oberon project.
(So, don't expect too much.)

But then, Bastiaan Veelo presented a very similar problem at 
DConf 2017.
I'm a bit late, but I hope this could help.

 The example shows, by the way, that Oberon uses floored 
 division while D uses the more common truncated division.

What is truncated remainder ever useful for, anyways? All I know 
it as is "that broken remainder I have to work around when 
writing graphics code."

Thanks for sharing! Your translation module is surprisingly 
concise.

As I read up a bit on Oberon, I learned that Nicklaus Wirth is 
still maintaining his compiler[1]. I wonder what he would think 
of D.
