First, IIRC, the name hacking is a technique used to bypass llvm

this *is* a hack around compiler because this forces memset implementer
to write all code in that function.
I won't call it a hack. Because memset obviously can't go on to call memset.
Realistically, the default case that uses D itself, won't need more than
a single function to implement. For optimized versions you must use
assembly. Where the problem won't manifest anyway.
However this would be a wonderful candidate for a pragma to disable the
calling to memset and friends.
