The idea is nice, but ideas aren't enough. Where are the benchmarks that show a
performance improvement over the C calling convention? And even if such
improvement is present, is it worth it in the face of people that don't want to
add it to GCC?
GDC can certainly define its D calling convention to match GCC's. It's an
"implementation defined" thing, not a language defined one.
