Vectorisation Intrinsics for DMD?

[Peter Alexander]

Is there any plan to add vectorisation intrinsics to DMD?

I know that DMD generates vectorised instructions for array operations, 
but last time I checked, these were far from optimal for aligned 
float[4] objects. In fact, it appears to generate a function call for 
all vector operations, regardless of size or alignment.

I believe that these intrinsics would be very beneficial to D, and this 
is because I believe that one of D's biggest markets is indie game devs:

- They need a really high performance language, but are tired of C++
- They are not held back by legacy code
- They are generally risk takers, so are willing to invest in new tech

A lack on vector intrinsics in DMD gives them an extra reason to stick 
with C++.
