That's what dmdinline does.
From the examples, it seems like it doesn't. It seems like it's
compiling D code on the fly, rather than loading pre-compiled

Okay, I see what you're saying. You are correct that the examples
look like that. That's because it is common in the R community to
write your C/C++ code inline. It becomes an interactive process,
and works good for debugging.
You can take the same D functions, insert them in a D file inside
an R package, include a Makefile, and your D functions become
part of that package. They'll be compiled when you install the
package. That way you only compile once.
