Simplest task was increment a value many times. On my computer is 3 times slow. Then tried simple functions like counting zeros in array of it. It was more 4 times slower. If I like this slow I code python ^_^

If there is different tradeoff to choose then I agree your argument is good. But with alias approach you have both static and dynamic. The support is already, no need for more. Why choose the bad way instead of good way?

It is only that there is no central page. Or I can not find it. No description of all library. No links between one document and other documents. I get bored ^_^ In phobos I can easy jump from algorithm to conv or functional. Thank you, Dee Girl
