It was discussed a bit in past, and restrict was not appreciated a lot, maybe also because in D where possible we prefer things that the compiler is able to verify/enforce.
And I think D/DMD is not yet in a development stage where it cares for max performance details. I think there are plenty of more important things to work on before that. The recently almost-fixed "inout" was more urgent than "__restrict".
