Mir will be (optionally) integrated with dcompute (once it is 
ready)
and dcompute CANNOT be compiled at all by dmd, although I suppose
you could use dmd for rapid development cycle, but you would have 
to
make dmd only figure out the .mangleof of the kernel (as the 
.mangleof
is required for the library-side API bashing magic) and not try 
to do any
semantic analysis or compilation, as it would fail horribly.
