Why doesn't D support some kind of partial evaluation instead?
With llvm you get to JIT for free, seems to be an overall
simpler solution than having an interpreter in the compiler

Not really. You'd probably still need a powerful constant
folder/interpreter to avoid firing up the LLVM JIT for every
single trivial CTFE invocation.

That is still what SDC does :D
