Put each of those implementations in its own file, then call it several

answer :)
The problem is they are not easy to compare using artificial tests.
For example, there is a hard-wired limit to template nesting depth in
the compiler. And with the number of input elements less than this
limit, the difference in results seems to be insignificant.
BTW, if we want to be taken seriously such limits should be
configurable. Why the depth of 500 and not 600? I wonder where the
value comes from.
It's about the largest value it can be before a compiler stack overflow
occurs.
I meant the value should not be a magical number hard-coded somewhere in
template.c. One can configure stack size and it should be possible to
configure a dmd build with adjusted nesting value.
