* Loop fusion that generalizes array-wise operations. This idea of
Walter is, I think, very good because it generalizes and democratizes
"magic". The idea is that, if you do
a = b + c;
and b + c does not make sense but b and c are ranges for which
a.front = b.front + c.front does make sense, to automatically add the
iteration paraphernalia.
If I read this correctly, what you're asking for will most likely happen.
The question is, how much this is generalized with ranges. It needs to
detect the special case of arrays and use vector operations then.
Yeah, and most likely it will. But you can't expect every range to
define the no-parameter opSlice() function, which means that the syntax
for "range operations" should be just
a = b + c;
It would then be pretty silly if we still had to use the
a[] = b[] + c[];
syntax for the special case of arrays, so I assume that will change as well.
