Honestly, I don't feel this is too strong an issue. The point
of dmd is to be a reference compiler -- speed is nice if it's
possible, but not the most important consideration.
Fair point, i guess the reference doesn't have to be fastest.
The most important thing is that new frontend updates can get
merged quickly into ldc/gdc, so that there is no time lag
between new feature development and their incorporation into
other compilers.
This would be really great.
