The readme mentions compilation with `-b release-nobounds`.
1. These are flags for DUB (?), can you add/replace it with the 
conversion to actual compiler flags?
2. Did you test without removing bounds checks? If there is a 
noticable performance drop, I think it'd be very worthwhile to 
modify the code such that there is no penalty of boundschecks (at 
-O3); I think in theory only very few bounds checks are needed. 
Enabling good performance _with_ boundschecks on means that the 
user is not forced to build his whole project without 
boundschecks, or move to separate compilation.
