Several questions (about inline assembly, ddoc for templates, and foreach)

Thanks! It must've been my fault, perhaps I was doing something wrong and I
couldn't get it to work.

Just tested the following code, using DMD v0.164 (in Linux), and it didn't work:

//----------------------------------------------------
void main() {
  static uint[3] array = [0xC0DE, 0xBEEF, 0xF00D];
  uint* a = null;

  asm {
    mov EAX, [array + 4];
    mov a, EAX;
  }

  writefln(a);        // Prints: BEEF
}
//----------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?
