The intent is for the compiler to identify the exact location of interp.

This doesn't necessarily mean lowering, it means that only the druntime 
interp template will be used (which is easy to do internally).

There will be no overriding of interp or idup allowed in user code. I 
could have sworn I had a statement in the DIP that said that, but I may 
have deleted it in the many rewrites.
