This is not possible with current design. All high level language 
processing is still done during compile time and only low-level 
llvm ir is saved to be optimized and codegened later. Jit runtime 
knows nothing about language, it only have llvm optimizer and 
backend.

Implementing high level D code processing during runtime will 
require pulling D frontend which isn't very well suited to be 
used as library.
