Oh my fucking god. That means you can generate complex
matrix-vector interactions "on the spot" without ever using
temporary matrices or vectors and the inevitable cost of
leaving the FPU and rounding to float! That's brilliant.
It's slightly amusing you keep re-inventing Nimrod, albeit
poorly:

My talk on this topic in the first D conference was in 2007. It
seems Nimrod only dates from 2009. There's nothing new here.
