Hello,
Is there some way to access information about the current scope/function, EG. 
from where it was started?

This falls in the issue 'reflection' which is not supported with D. I
hope it will come.

Perhaps s/he means a stack trace? That's already possible in D, although 
I don't know how. But there's some code somewhere that dumps a back 
trace inside Phobos' (unhandled-) exception handler.

I've also been looking at the StackWalker project on CodeProject. It 
uses Windows' debug helper functions and chances are it works with DMD's 
debug info. I suppose that back trace patch for Phobos uses the same OS 
functions.
