It was shown later in that same thread that there is no performance penalty for returning a bool.  The
response is somewhat buried and it took me a while to find it last time I looked.  However, Walter indicated
that he was unaware of the ASM instruction that allows for this improvement and so the back-end used by
DMD does something else instead which is much slower.
