In fact, I was most inspired by the existing ob-C.el and ob-java.el!
 From what I understand C# (in conjunction with csproj-files) is 
"different enough" from C/C++ and Java (I don't feel particularly 
comfortable judging the D language) that it somewhat makes sense to 
create an individual file integrating it (as opposed to increase the 
complexity with existing integrations).
I will however consider this and re-evaluate my initial concept with 
your feedback.

I would go ahead and follow these instructions trying to contribute the 
draft. This also makes it easier for me to show what I mean and 
elaborate on the concept (and the differences to existing integrations) 
potentially.

Best regards,
Max
