Given that 32-bit has been the default on Windows for D's
entire lifetime, I don't expect this is so common of an issue.
More harmful would be requiring Visual Studio to compile with
the default settings.
That said, dub already uses -m64 by default on Windows. And the
goal is to enable 64-bit in dmd on Windows by default. That's
the reason the MinGW-based link libraries and the LDC linker
were added to the distribution, so that it will work out of the
box. I don't know what the timetable is supposed to be, but at
some point after that is rock solid, the switch to 64-bit by
default will be made.
This example seems been as a corner uglyness of AA realisation.
64bit heal a problem, but uses about 500Mb of RAM continuosly for
this simple example, so its only patching sinkin' ship :-(
