(1)I have gotten the behavior I like by going to 
Tools/Options/Text Editor/D/Intellisense adn choosing "Show 
expressions when: writing an identifier".

You should get squiggles for parser errors, but semantic errors are not 
shown, as the semantic engine is likely to produce too many false positives.

I am wondering why that is. Can it be enabled anywhere? Is it 
because of some specific D feature that is particularly difficult 
(I guess UFCS)? Any other IDEs for D support it?

3) Also, the syntax coloration in Intellisense is not proper. 
There is this <b>Params</b> visible instead of having the params 
be actually bold.

4) There is this menu item called "VISUAL D", which is now 
standing there for all project types. I don't know what any of 
the options do, can this be disabled.

5) No rename refactoring?
