Are you serious?
Have a look at what Scala have done. They basically have the complete
compiler available as a library. Then they used this library to
implement runtime reflection and macros. Macros in Scala are functions
that execute at compile time.
It is not as powerful as what we have in D and it requires invoking the
compiler multiple times.
