I've thought about it a few times.  At this stage, I think it would be
really good to have a second, completely independent implementation of D
that doesn't depend on the DMD front-end.

What I'd really like to[1] write is a very simple, easily modified D
compiler that spits out LLVM bytecode so that new language features
could be prototyped.

Maybe one of these days :P
