I understand the desire for nice and simple code but sadly the
stdlib is not a good place for it - everything must be tightly
optimized. The value of the project stands. -- Andrei
It's easy to implement but isn't this an optimization that
LDC/GDC would already do if the stride is known at compile time?
Should we be optimizing the standard library for DMD when
(speculation but probably true) it's the only one that can't
perform such an optimization?
