Will D try to stay current with new processor instructions or provide

Well, this one was certainly a dud. ;^) I get the feeling I'm more
down on the metal than most folks on this interesting list.
Can anyone opine about assembler plans? Some new instructions offer a
meaningful performance boost in the right niche, so I hate to think
the assembler won't expose them.
As of a couple years ago, the inline assembler supported all the opcodes. Intel
and AMD keep adding them, though. Just file a bug report on the missing ones.
