It's an operation included in Cilk Plus, I think Intel devs know
enough what they are doing.
And I think code like this is a common need:
if (a[] > 0) {
// ...
}
and it's somewhat ambiguous -- is it allowed to use short-circuit
evaluation?<
That code means:
foreach (i; 0 .. a.length) {
if (a[i] > 0) {
// ...
}
}
Here I don't see problems caused by short circuit evaluation.
Wow. Then I misunderstood, and it's even less appropriate for D than I
thought.

Worst syntax I've seen in a very long time.
