I know, but MSVC targets have just recently gained a lot of 
momentum, and MS has started contributing too.

Completely compatible to what? An identical IR generated by clang 
for a 1:1 translation of a D source to C++ (in cases where that's 
even possible)?

For me the question is rather whether the MS backend really fully 
supports LLVM IR, especially wrt. ABI details, alignments, EH 
etc., or if it just supports what clang emits.
