Re: Creeping Bloat in Phobos

Walter Bright:

import std.algorithm, std.stdio;
int main(string[] args) {
  return cast(int)args.map!("a.length").reduce!"a+b"();
}
Here's what LDC produces (with -O -inline -release 
-noboundscheck)

Part of this particular case problem is not a compiler 
optimizer weakness, but that autodecode problem I've been 
throwing (!) chairs through windows on.

There is no char auto decoding in this program, right?

Note: in Phobos now we have std.algorithm.sum, that is better 
than reduce!"a+b"().
