This is true – and precisely the reason why it is actually defined (ldc.attributes) as--- alias fastmath = AliasSeq!(llvmAttr("unsafe-fp-math", "true"), llvmFastMathFlag("fast")); --- This way, users can actually combine different optimisations in a more tasteful manner as appropriate for their particular application. Experience has shown that people – even those intimately familiar with FP semantics – expect a catch-all kitchen-sink switch for all natural optimisations (natural when equating FP values with real numbers). This is why the shorthand exists.
I didn't know that, thanks for the explanation. But the same can be done for pragmas, as the second argument isn't just true|false, it's an expression.
