Sorry, that's never going to fly.
Like a dove.
Few companies care about performance like Facebook does. What performance
analysis tools does FB use routinely and pervasively?
In my experience with major software companies, using anything other than -O is
quite rare. Use of a profiler? nevah hoppin. Yes, a maverick here and there will
use them, but use is not pervasive and routine.
Will our canonical D newbie coming from C++ or Java use such a tool? Nope.
They'll run the compiler, if we're lucky they'll throw -O -release -inline
-noboundscheck, then they'll give the thumbs up or down on performance. This
thread is a classic example.
