Tiny D suitable for embedded JIT

[Dibyendu Majumdar]

Now that D has a better C option I was wondering if it is 
possible to create a small subset of D that can be used as 
embedded JIT library. I would like to trim the language to a 
small subset of D/C - only primitive types and pointers - and 
remove everything else. The idea is to have a high level assembly 
language that is suitable for use as JIT backend by other 
projects. I wanted to know if this is a feasible project - using 
DMD as the starting point. Should I even think about trying to do 
this?

The ultimate goal is to have JIT library that is small, has fast 
compilation, and generates reasonable code (i.e. some form of 
global register allocation). The options I am looking at are a) 
start from scratch, b) hack LLVM, or c) hack DMD.
