I sorta figured D would implicitly attribute "static" to
nested functions if the function didn't use any variables
outside it's scope. Is that not so?
I don't think DMD does that. Before assuming DMD performs one
optimization, go to read some of the asm it produces.
Oh you crazy compiler developers. Thinking everyone can read ASM
;-)
Why are you saying it's a good idea to use "static" exactly?

Thanks. Pretty much what I thought. Though, there *could* be area
for automatic optimization here, right? I mean, DMD could analyze
the nested function and deem it worthy of the same optimizations
static nested functions receive, correct?
