Hi,

that's definitly possible! But to be honest, I don't  think putting gl3n 
into phobos is a good idea. Why does phobos, the std. lib, need a 
vector-lib? I haven't seen any other language with something like gl3n 
in the std. lib. Also I used my own PEP-8, C (K&R with spaces) style, it 
would be a real pain changing this to the Phobos style. One more point 
is, that it's not just a Vector-lib, it also does Matrix-, 
Quaternion-math, interpolation and implements some other useful 
mathematical functions (as found in GLSL).
Of course I am open to a discussion.

PS:// I already talked with Manu about this topic, and I don't wait too 
long, gl3n will have core.simd support soon.
