Currently the built-in vector operations of D are not optimized, their syntax and semantics has some small holes that I'd like to see fixed (it's not just a matter of implementation bugs, I also mean design bugs). So I suggest first to improve them a lot, and only later, if necessary, to introduce intrinsics. Bye, bearophile
