I have to correct myself. A manual loop is faster, I couldn't believe it either, so I benchmarked the same function with `foreach` and `for`. Turns out that `for` is _way_ faster.
Just about the only reason I could think of for this to happen is if the compiler fails to inline the range primitives from std.array. Otherwise, the loops should be pretty much equivalent to LLVM's optimiser.
This is so fundamental to D's strategic promise that we can't afford to get it wrong.
