Hmm. There *is* a delegate being passed to map(). Would that
cause problems? Theoretically it shouldn't, but as you said, if
dmd isn't handling it correctly that could cause problems.
I'm looking at the disassembly of cprod
(http://pastebin.com/ngTax6B8) and there doesn't seem to be a call
to _d_allocmemory in it. AFAIK it should be if the memory for the
variables that the delegate uses was allocated on the heap?

Whew, what a day! Two compiler bugs, no less, and a whole bunch of
Phobos issues. I think I may need to take a break from D for a day
or two. :-/

Actually, I just went back to working on my personal D project for a
bit. I was a bit disappointed that what I thought would be a quick
side-job (implement cartesianProduct in std.algorithm) turned out to get
stymied by compiler bugs and Phobos issues.
Admittedly cartesianProduct is a nontrivial juxtaposition of quite a few
other artifacts. The question here is whether this is just endless churn
or real progress. I'm optimistic, but am curious about others' opinion.

So yes, D still has a ways to go, and it does have its warts, but it's
heaven compared to C++.
One question is how it compares against other languages that foster
similar bulk processing, such as C# or Scala.
