I've read everything I can about proposals and ideas for adding some sort of
SIMD capability to D, and I have not seen any conclusion. I am NOT trying to
revamp the discussion of how or why - only query the status of 2 things...

1. Currently there's no way to align data on the stack, making movaps
difficult/impossible to use properly. Is there where D still stands?

2. Has there been any consensus on if or how Walter may or may not integrate
SIMD capability into the language?

Obviously we have all seen the many (some very convincing) proposals,
but whats the status?
