The broader topic of what compiler features Mir GLAS uses
could be the topic of an entire blog post in its own right,

I guess this is my terrain. I'll think about writing that blog
post :)
Specific LDC features that I see in GLAS are:
- __traits(targetHasFeature, ...) , see
https://wiki.dlang.org/LDC-specific_language_changes#targetHasFeature
- @fastmath, see
https://wiki.dlang.org/LDC-specific_language_changes#.40.28ldc.attributes.fastmath.29
- Modules ldc.simd and ldc.intrinsics.
- Extended allowed sizes for __vector (still very limited)
To get an idea of what is different for LDC and DMD, this PR
removed support for DMD: https://github.com/libmir/mir/pull/347

Ah, I was not aware that DMD support was dropped completely. I
think that is a real shame, and it makes it _much_ less likely
that I will use mir in my own projects, let alone as a
dependency in another library.
Shame is that D is not popular. I think that Mir can replace C /
C++ for hight performance application. And became the best
industry system language.
My goal is not a package for D community. My goal is a library
for industry. A library that can involve new comers and extend D
community multiple times.
