how efficient is ufcs? It seems like it would be very slow in general and way better to manually do the code. I wonder if anyone has done any tests?
LDC and GDC are pretty darn good at inlining these UFCS chains, but the yielded machine code might be slightly suboptimal. In any case, you should use a profiler instead of making decisions based on some intuitive feelings which might easily be wrong. (don't underestimate the efforts put into GCC & LLVM backends!)
