Now end up you data gathering :
Turn them around (sed can do that for you), recompile,

I do not know exact implementation of D compiler but I guess it
generates code and then optimises it away. If thats the case then
you slow down your compilation unnecessarily. Also having
language construct that is being used only 15% of the time
correctly is not great. And D has foreach. In C++ world this is
even worse.
Is this a big problem? Not really, but its still a problem.
