Is there any guide to, or documentation for the DMD compiler source?

I'm currently trying to make TypeInfo_Function not completely useless,
but I'm not sure my code is actually being run.

Found this page: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DMDSourceGuide
although it's fairly bare-bones.

You'll get a lot of use out of defining the debugs for #ifdefs, and/or 
uncommenting printfs and following it.

If your code may not be running, use a breakpoint or printf to ensure it is.

I finally found out why my changes weren't working.

Because typinf.c is the ONE file in the frontend that doesn't get passed
$(XFLAGS) when built.  Guess where I put the -D for my changes?  Go on,
guess.  You'll never get it.

*bangs head repeatedly*

Now I have an entirely DIFFERENT problem; I officially have NO idea what
the code I modified does.  :'(
