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
With that argument, we might end up with druntime and Phobos
completely in manually-tweaked inline assembly to compensate for
simpler back-ends. I'm obviously exaggerating, but unless you can
show that a compile-time version really provides a significant
boost for optimized GDC/LDC builds too, I don't see the project's
value.
