Would be cool if there was a platform independent way in D to construct
a sequence of "call" instructions in memory. Then it would be possible
to write a JIT compiler in the exact same style as that example.
At that point, you just want a simple in-memory assembler. Think asmjit.
It would be relatively easy to add to phobos although you'd have to be
careful about DEP. Hmm, perhaps I will try writing something like this...
Probably a bit too domain-specific (not to say it isn't useful).
