Nice, not even DMD can do this yet. Can these changes be pushed
upstream?
On a side note, I understand GDC doesn't support the
core.simd.__simd(...) command, and I'm sure you have good reasons
for this. However, it would still be nice if:
a) this interface was supported through function-wrappers, or..
b) DMD/LDC could find common ground with GDC in SIMD instructions
I just think this sort of difference should be worked out early
on. If this simply can't or won't be changed, would you mind
giving a short explanation as to why? (Please forgive if you've
explained this already before). Is core.simd designed to really
never be used and Manu's std.simd is really the starting place
for libraries? (I believe I remember him mentioning that)
