Oh you crazy compiler developers. Thinking everyone can read ASM 
;-)

Thanks. Pretty much what I thought. Though, there *could* be area 
for automatic optimization here, right? I mean, DMD could analyze 
the nested function and deem it worthy of the same optimizations 
static nested functions receive, correct?
