Some time ago I was able to compile simple library into BC (pure 
C) and load it with my application and use across different 
operating systems with re-compilation having those external code 
running in a sandbox.

How much difficult it would be to try with D? Means application 
is in C++ and I want to load BC made from D code?

The idea itself comes from something like sandboxed Quake 3 QVM 
and used for game logic, it's pretty easy to replicate that 
behavior with C/C++ with LLVM BC. I wonder how much pain it would 
be to make that with D instead.

Compiling to LLVM bitcode with LDC is as simple as adding 
`-output-bc` to the command line. If you depend on the runtime 
library (druntime) and standard library (Phobos), you should be 
able to compile them to bitcode libraries by compiling LDC 
yourself using CMake option BUILD_BC_LIBS=ON.

Can I build Phobos partly (or just runtime)? I would like to 
expose my own API for file system, for example, meaning 
restricting usage of built-in IO, same goes for allocations.
