Had a bit of a good time with popFront for UTF, got to this:

look at the disassembly referred to in the pull request. Thanks! --

With -Oz both functions look almost the same on ldc and gdc
The big ldc link I posted:

uses -O3, not -Oz. Changing the flag to -Oz seems to cause no change in
the generated code. I see different code generated for popFront1
(proposed) and popFront2 (candidate), e.g. popFront1 has 27 asm lines
whereas popFront2 has 34. (BTW: is there an easy way to see the size of
the generated functions?)
Under what conditions did you notice almost identical code?
Thanks,
Andrei
